I'm having a problem with "halt" at the PVM console not killing
off the processes.  I'm running on a cluster of DEC Alpha
workstations.  When the answers look bad I'd like to kill the
processes which have been spawned by my host program (not
spawned at the console).  On all other types of machines I've
used, typing "halt" at the console does the trick.  On the
Alphas, the processes keep running and I have kill -9 them
manually.  Anybody know if this is my problem or PVM's?  How
does "halt" attempt to kill spawned processes?
Thanks,
Ed
