python processes hanging around for ever

Hi everyone.

We have a small cluster running mpi version 3.0.033. On a lot of the nodes there are the python processes that are hanging around from jobs run up to a year ago

%ps
cs47480 32683 1 0 2007 ? 00:00:01 python /usr/local/mpi-3.0.033-intel/bin64/mpd.py -h shiva004 -p 43110 --ifhn=172.19.1.1 --ncpus=1 --myhost=shiva001 --myip=172.19.1.1 -e

What causes these processes not to exit when the job is finished?

Is there any script that comes with mpi that I can run to clean these up?

thanks

mpdallexit should clean up and make ready for a fresh start with mpdboot or mpirun.
