# :background-stop command

The :background-stop command stops the
background processor. The background scheduler will no longer be able
to run. Jobs can still be queued for execution when the scheduler
is not running, but they will not start. This command has no effect
on backgrounds that are already running. To stop those jobs, they
must be logged off.

## Syntax

```
:background-stop
```
