I am seeing a lot of these processes hanging around on my backend, I'm<br>
not sure if it is a configuration problem on my side, or a bug:<br>

As you can see, some have been there since yesterday. I also find it<br>

Anyone have any thoughts? There is nothing exciting in the backend<br>
log, other than that it launched the external process. I do see a<br>
couple of these:<br>

But not as many as there are processes still running.<br>
