How do I abort a running query in the MongoDB shell?

Question

I can\'t believe I have to ask this, but how do I stop a query I just ran, which is now running, and will obviously take a very long time to complete in the Mongo shell? C

Answer 1

According to Mongo documentation, you should:

1. Obtain the current operation ID via db.currentOp()
2. Kill opp via db.killOp()

Good example script can be found here.
