It now supports remote execution. Under a certain condition it takes a different input and can stop background commands on a remote host, as long as this session started them. For one it cannot stop, it explains that the command has already finished or been stopped, or was never this session's.\n\nBefore, `TaskStop` only looked for the command among this computer's own tasks. `TaskGet`, which looks up a task, now also falls back to a second lookup when the first finds nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is part of managing shell commands that run on a remote or cloud host.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
