[Question] How to stop a currently-running work?

[ryanelian]

workerFarm.end(farm) documentation says:

If you send your farm API to workerFarm.end() then it'll cleanly end your worker processes. Note though that it's a soft ending so it'll wait for child processes to finish what they are working on before asking them to die.

What if I need to hard-end an ongoing jobs, before queuing new ones?

Use case: the long-running (forever) ongoing jobs has gone bad because of top-level (parent process) config changes, so the parent needs to spin new long-running ongoing jobs, but only after killing the original, bad jobs first.

I believe we call stopChild() in a loop on CTRL-C in the parent.
