Description Belen Barros Pena 2016-01-27 09:59:42 UTC 
Bug 6787 provides the ability to cancel from the Toaster UI any builds you start from the Toaster UI. However, it is not possible to cancel from Toaster the builds you start from command line. According to Paul Eggleton, this is why:

"the issue is that with a build started on the command line, the Toaster BitBake UI isn't the controlling UI - knotty is. There can only be one controlling UI and only the controlling UI can run commands that will affect the state of the build / configuration. If we want this to work we'll have to look at what it would take to remove that limitation"
