[torqueusers] Cleaning up stray processes from defunct jobs

[Burkhard Bunk]

Hi,

you should mention which implementation of MPI you are using.

"Dirty termination" of parallel runs was normal with mpich1, and there
was much discussion about possible ways (scripts) for cleanup.
With OpenMPI, however, this problems seems to be gone.

Regards,
Burkhard Bunk.
