[Moabusers] Jobs running outside the scheduler

[Gelonia L Dent]

I continue to see the problem of jobs appearing to be running outside of
the scheduler. I would appreciate some feedback how this might be
happening?

Here is some output from the current state of the scheduler:

Now looking at processes running on the system ( a snapshot of the
output). Notice the poy4.1 processes, which are not associated with any of
the scheduled jobs.

Is there anyway to prevent this spawning? What is the best way, besides me
contantly asking users, to clean this up?

I appreciate your help
