### Cron Jobs Graceful Termination Management

Manage Services tab offers control over cron jobs to allow for *Graceful Termination*. Graceful Termination allows the currently scheduled, running jobs to execute successfully while stopping the scheduling of new jobs. This comes in handy if the running jobs are critical and their execution should be resumed while the need to stop future cron jobs is present as well.

It's important to note that to able to use the Graceful Termination feature, the SSH service needs to be running.
