    I might want to switch hardware that I'm using here and on another project. 

    What's the cleanest way to pull the plug without leaving orphaned tasks?

    Just stop taking new tasks and wait for them to finish, then leave the project, rejoin with the new hardware?

      That works best.  Alternative if you don't want to wait out the tasks is to set no tasks, abort the tasks and then report them so they are sent to another user PDQ.  Or a combination, where you abort the ones that haven't started yet, but wait out the ones that have.

        I do the last part if I have tasks above 50% completed, if they are less than 50% completed I just abort and report them.
