[daip] "TASK ACTIVE" problem with AIPS...

[Nissim Kanekar]

Hi Eric,

I took a look at /tmp and couldn't find any files in there from this user.
Nothing shows up in "top" or "ps -elf" either. Was considering rebooting the 
machine, as a last resort; or is there anything else that I should try first?

Thanks!
Nissim
