Progress: Method to kill a running progress #628
Description
Sometimes the progress can run for a longer time. Apache has a timeout of 300 seconds and is server wide. changing the apache timeout is not a good idea.
PHP timeout can be increased using the set_time_limit();
Increasing the time limit will make sure that php executes the whole process. Developers can decide to set a higher time limit and let the scrip run in the background even when Apache sends a timeout.
Also, there can be a scenario, where the progress can continue in the background and users can continue browsing. This way, we should monitor the process that is running the progress and have the option to cancel,
