Package: condor
Version: 7.8.1~dfsg.1-1~nd60+1
Severity: normal


Today I sent a large batch to condor (~50 jobs), then tried to kill the
all with 'condor_rm andy'.
This removed them from the condor_q list of running processes, but left
them all actually running.
I then had to kill them all manually using htop.  

the only thing I did was not normal was start the jobs from within an
ipython session using "!" to escape the shell ( i don't think that
should matter, but just in case.). I then tried called condor_rm from
another bash shell...

The program I was running was a pyMVPA surface based searchlight, which 
I believe uses a serial process for feature selection and only parallelizes 
after starting to compute the actual searchlight measures. And I believe 
that the programs were in the feature selection phase - serial processes, 
when I tried to kill them.

nb. this was run on our "hydra" cluster

thanks,
Andy
