wq doesn't really know how to kill the jobs properly

[suchyta1]

If you try to kill a running job with wq at BNL, it doesn't actually always kill everything. I think what happens is it only kills the PID's of the parents, not all the children that have been spawned by the multiprocessing pool. Eventually everything dies (or goes zombie process), but what I do to remedy this is just to forcefully kill all my user processes on the relevant nodes.
