 +You can cancel all of an array job in one go by using scancel on the job number of the array job entry. You can also cancel the individual tasks submitted by the array job.
 +
 +To cancel the entire job (including all running tasks):
 +
 +<code>
 +scancel NNNNNNN
 +</code>
 +
 +To cancel an individual task from the array job (in this case task number 2):
 +
 +<code>
 +scancel NNNNNNN_2
 +</code>
 +
 +You can also cancel a range of the individual tasks within the array as follows. This will work whether the tasks are already running or not.
 +
 +<code>
 +scancel NNNNNNN_[9-19]
