Canceling a command

You can attempt to cancel a command as long as the service shows that it's in either a Pending or Executing state. However, even if a command is still in one of these states, we can't guarantee that the command will be canceled and the underlying process stopped.

To cancel a command using the console

  1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at https://eusc-de-east-1.console.amazonaws-eusc.eu/systems-manager/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Run Command.

  3. Select the command invocation that you want to cancel.

  4. Choose Cancel command.

To cancel a command using the AWS CLI

Run the following command. Replace each example resource placeholder with your own information.

Linux & macOS
aws ssm cancel-command \
    --command-id "command-ID" \
    --instance-ids "instance-ID"
Windows
aws ssm cancel-command ^
    --command-id "command-ID" ^
    --instance-ids "instance-ID"
