Killing topaz job during preprocess does not kill workers

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

If I start running topaz preprocess, then kill the job, it seems to keep running in the background (the workers remain active, and the system remains sluggish). They only seem to really die if I kill them on the command line (e.g. using killall topaz). Does anyone else see this? This is on the latest version of cryoSPARC, with Topaz 0.2.4

Cheers
Oli

@olibclarke Is your Path to Topaz executable a shell script that ends with a direct call to topaz? If so, would a modification to exec topaz result in immediate termination of Topaz when a Topaz job is killed?

Hi @wtempel, not to my knowledge - it is just the path to the topaz binary: /home/user/software/miniconda2/envs/topaz/bin/topaz
