[evla-sw-discuss] obs2script

[Bryan Butler]

not in the normal case.  were these actually active processes (i.e., when you 
say they "found" the sessions running, what does that mean)?

when run from the command line, obs2script should always just run to completion. 
  if for some odd reason it got itself into an infinite loop (i've never seen it 
happen or seen it reported, but who knows...) and the operator left it to run in 
the terminal, then multiple processes could exist.  that seems an odd situation 
though.

might it be that the operator did a %ps -aux or some equivalent and saw 
processes that weren't actually active (zombies)?
