Sounds like you (or your system administrator) has configured an 
epilogue to kill off processes belonging to a user when their job finishes.

Using something like pam_slurm_adopt is probably a better way to go 
there as that only permits access to a login node when you have a job 
there, constrains the session to the cgroup for the job and then will 
clean up that session when the job ends.

All the best,
Chris
