# Interrupting the client

The client stores the state of its progress in a hidden folder under your home, and can be interrupted at any time. When you are ready to resume it, you just need to launch it in the same folder and it will start exactly from the point where it stopped: the state of the operation is preserved on the Meterian servers.&#x20;

Please note that the client will refuse to execute another analysis if the previous one is still in progress: you can override this behavior passing the --clean parameter to the command line, which will remove any pending build, starting a new one.

```
$ java -jar /tmp/meterian-cli.jar --clean
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.meterian.io/the-client/using-the-client/interrupting-the-client.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
