Do you still need to reboot the cluster nodes after having manually killed the leftover processes?

No - I tried several runs, and I can indeed recover full funationality of the node by finding the process numbers and then issuing n "kill -9 [process number} n times. Hopefully this can be done automatically, or prevented in the first place.

John,
Using killall you should be able to kill all the nwchem associated processes. The command is
killall -9 nwchem


Another possibility is to use the openmpi orte-clean (a.k.a. ompi-clean)
