# uip rpa stop-execution

> `uip rpa stop-execution` stops the workflow execution currently running under Studio — the one started by [`uip rpa run-file`](./uip-rpa-run-file.md). Use it when a run is hanging, taking longer than expected, or producing wrong output and you need to halt it from a script.

`uip rpa stop-execution` stops the workflow execution currently running under Studio — the one started by [`uip rpa run-file`](./uip-rpa-run-file.md). Use it when a run is hanging, taking longer than expected, or producing wrong output and you need to halt it from a script.

It is the standalone equivalent of `uip rpa run-file --command Stop`, packaged as its own verb so callers that did not start the run themselves do not need to know the original `--file-path`. Studio drives the stop, so the verb requires a Windows runner.

## Synopsis

uip rpa stop-execution [options]
```
