[TYPO3-core] FYI #12184: Feature: Scheduler: Add BE method to mark a stalled / died task as not running

[Francois Suter]

The attached patch was committed to trunk in revision 6304

Type: Feature (usability improvement)

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12184

Branches:
Trunk

Problem:
If a task dies during execution (eg. because of a programming error) it 
will be marked as running forever, without a way for a BE admin to 
revive the task. You must manually clear the database field 
"serialized_executions".

Solution:
Add a "stop" button in the BE module, to reset the serialized_executions 
DB field.

Notes:
- As we're in just "soft" feature freeze I went ahead and added this 
small feature to the Scheduler, as it has no impact on the rest of the 
Core and represents a real usability improvement.
- This is not a real "stop" button, proper explanations have been added 
in the manual to that effect.
- I took this opportunity to update the manual with some of the other 
recent changes.

Cheers
