Hudson - job is stuck, how to kill it?

Question

I have a job running under Hudson that has not progressed from "Started by user anonymous". How can I stop it? I tried restarting the Hudson server but it just resumed the job on startup.

It can't be killed by the normal cancel build button.

Thanks.

Check your build process to make sure that it's not waiting for interactive input. For example, if you run over ssh, and the server isn't in the known hosts file, maybe it's waiting for you to authorize the fingerprint. Likewise, if you haven't setup automatic key exchange, maybe it's waiting for you to enter a password.
