Docs: Info how to cancel a running job

Description

I am not sure how to kill a running Job.

We have long running bash jobs and sometimes find out, that there is an issue and we want to cancel them.

Right now we have to use ssh and do:

ps -aux | grep "bash script name"
kill pid

Maybe there is already a way to do it form the UI, but we could not figure it out. I would like to add documentation, how to do it.

This ticket is still not finished because there is no documentation. There is only my answer, but someone has to add documentation.

However, if I answered, someone can find this ticket, see the answer and add documentation.
