For some interactive jobs, bjobs -l reports PGID of the job even if PGID does not exist on execution host.

Troubleshooting


Problem

bjobs -l reports PGID. Sometimes, for interactive jobs, PGID has already exited on execution host, but bjobs -l still report it.

Why does bjobs -l report PGID that has already exited?

Symptom

User submit an interactive job. When the job runs for a while, PGID which bjobs -l reports exit on execution host, but bjobs -l still reports it.
