# Canceling a command
<a name="cancel-run-command"></a>

You can attempt to cancel a command as long as the service shows that it's in either a Pending or Executing state. However, even if a command is still in one of these states, we can't guarantee that the command will be canceled and the underlying process stopped. 

**To cancel a command using the console**

1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Run Command**.

1. Select the command invocation that you want to cancel.

1. Choose **Cancel command**.

**To cancel a command using the AWS CLI**  
Run the following command. Replace each *example resource placeholder* with your own information.

------
#### [ Linux & macOS ]

```
aws ssm cancel-command \
    --command-id "command-ID" \
    --instance-ids "instance-ID"
```

------
#### [ Windows ]

```
aws ssm cancel-command ^
    --command-id "command-ID" ^
    --instance-ids "instance-ID"
```

------
