How to kill a job compeltely
Greetings,
one of my job is running for a long time.
I killed using kill -9 <process_id>
when i check the process status (ps -ef) i couldnt find that process.
But when i give showjob <system_name> -q <queue_name> i can find that job in queue and is still in running status.

I deleted all the output files created from that job but still i couldnt clear it from the queue.

Please advice me on how can i clear it from my queue.

Thanks
Senthil
