The block element is a wrapper which defines a task for which execution 
control is provided.  You can wrap a <process> element within a <block> 
element in a STAX job.  Then, if you terminate the block that the process 
is running in, STAX will submit a PROCESS STOP request to terminate the 
process.  Note that you can terminate a block via the STAX Monitor or via 
a <terminate> element or by submitting a STAX TERMINATE request.  See 
section "block: Define a Task for which Execution Control is Provided" in 
the STAX User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_Block.  In the 
"Usage" sub-section, examples of using a <block> element to wrap a 
<process> element and of using the <terminate block="'YourBlockName'"> 
element to terminate a block are provided.  For more information on the 
<terminate> element, see section "terminate: Terminate a Block" in the 
STAX User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_Terminate_Element
.

And/or, if you want to stop a process after a specified time period, you 
can wrap the <process> element within a <timer> element.  There's an 
example in section "timer: Define a Task for which Time Control is 
Provided" in the STAX User's Guide at 
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAX/staxug.html#Header_Timer
