Rogue process

There is a rogue process running from my account that I can't stop. I killed the console but the script is still running (I know because the script sends me emails every few minutes). Please kill it.

(I also have a console running another version of the script that I would appreciate you not kill. It is Python2.7 console 561575.)

Thanks.

This sometimes happens if one of the console management processes needs to be killed and your process ends up being orphaned. We usually do a clean-up about once a day, but we're looking at doing it more often. The clean-up has just run, so your process should have stopped running.

It's still going. Emails keep coming in.

Ah. It looks like I misdiagnosed it the first time round. We have a bug that we're trying to track down in the "Save and Run" code. It happens quite seldom so it's hard to track down, but when it strikes, you end up with processes that look like they're OK except that they've disconnected from their console. Sorry about the confusion.

No problem, the process isn't running anymore. Thanks.

Thanks for confirming!
