If your Python function is taking too long to run and you need to abort or delete it, you can use cURL to send a DELETE request to stop the running function call. Follow these steps to delete a running job :

1. Define a function: The function, delayed_task(), takes a significant amount of time for completion.

   import oml 
   
   delayed_task = """def delayed_task():
       import time
       time.sleep(60*50)"""
    
   oml.script.create("delayed_task", delayed_task, is_global=True, overwrite=True)

2. Run the script: The following cURL command runs the script named delayed_task with asynchronous values.

   curl -i -k -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" 
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{"service":"LOW","asyncFlag":true, "timeout": 4800}'  
   "https://<server>/oml/api/py-scripts/v1/do-eval/delayed_task"

3. Check the job status: Check the jobs with ID to see if they are running.

   curl -i -k -X GET --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" 
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{"service":"LOW"}'  
   "https://<server>/oml/api/py-scripts/v1/jobs/0836ae69-f0ef-42d5-8773-f66b4b7fd4bb"

   {"createdDate":" Feb 10,2025 22:02","status":"job is still running","elapsedTime":"00:00:44"}
   

4. Delete the job: Delete the job with jobid, 0836ae69-f0ef-42d5-8773-f66b4b7fd4bb.

   curl -i -k -X DELETE  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' 
   --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{"service":"LOW"}'  
   "https://<server>/oml/api/py-scripts/v1/jobs/0836ae69-f0ef-42d5-8773-f66b4b7fd4bb"

   {"Message":"Job 0836ae69-f0ef-42d5-8773-f66b4b7fd4bb sucessfully deleted container ending :  LOW-1739224926687"}

5. Delete the job a second time: If you attempt to delete a job ID for the second time it will result in Failure as job is no longer accessible.

   curl -i -k -X DELETE  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${token}" 
   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{"service":"LOW"}'  
   "https://<server>/oml/api/py-scripts/v1/jobs/0836ae69-f0ef-42d5-8773-f66b4b7fd4bb"
