It doesn’t appear the task is marked as cancelable so unfortunately at the moment you’d need to wait for the task to complete.

An extreme measure would be to kill the application but in general that isn’t recommended as it may have side effects especially if you’re using H2 or Orient that could cause corruption.

this scheduled-task every 24 hours execute once, but yesterday’s task hasn’t been completed yet. Will today’s task start?

I believe it ought to wait for the previous task.
