Here is the "ps aux" output (keller6 is the NWChem user.) USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND keller6 6001 99.8 0.2 1262432 140092 ? R 19:25 29:12 /usr/local/nwchem/bin/nwchem input.inp keller6 6002 99.9 0.1 1261552 125244 ? R 19:25 29:13 /usr/local/nwchem/bin/nwchem input.inp keller6 6003 99.9 0.1 1261540 128448 ? R 19:25 29:13 /usr/local/nwchem/bin/nwchem input.inp keller6 6004 99.9 0.1 1261540 122332 ? R 19:25 29:13 /usr/local/nwchem/bin/nwchem input.inp I can kill the process with "kill -9 6001" Do you still need to reboot the cluster nodes after having manually killed the leftover processes? Edo
