EFX Stop

I Just Finished quite a large arena event with tons of updates changes and EFX, but here is a question,
When I want an effect to stop by putting it in the focus I want (by) grabbing the lights + the position then clear, the effect will keep running ? unless I record STATE ? is there a better quicker way?
Next one , if I have 2 consoles on the network why won't the clocks synk >
