'Cancel' will tell the script to stop. Depending on what it's doing at
the time it may be a few minutes before it actually stops.

'Exit' just closes the log viewer allowing you to continue to use other
part of Myth. If you later go back to MythArchive while the script is
still running the log viewer will be shown allowing you to check its
progress. That's part of the reason the lock file is created so the
frontend plugin knows the script is still running.
