[mvapich-discuss] mvapich jobs cleanup

[Mark Potts]

Hi,
    We are observing a number of cases in which MVAPICH-0.9.9
    jobs launched with mpirun_rsh leave stray processes on some
    nodes when the job terminates abnormally.  Those stray
    processes continue to run forever and require recognition
    and killing.

    Is there a reason this happens with MVAPICH, and is there a
    way to prevent it.  This doesn't seem to be the behavior
    that occurs for abnormally terminated Voltaire MPI or Intel
    MPI jobs.
          regards,
