[slurm-users] unable to kill namd3 process

[Shaghuf Rahman]

Hi,

Also forgot to mention the process is still running when user do scancel
and epilog does not clean if one job finished when doing multiple job
submission.
We tried to use unkillable option but did not work. The process still
remains the same until killing it manually.
