Unix job leaving running processes on host

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

We have some jobs, which we've had for about 2 years, that started acting strangely in one env. The jobs are called through a workflow, and the workflow is completing successfully, with all jobs showing as finished. However, I can still see the unix processes running on the host.

e.g.

mesmgr   10227  9344 48 03:59 ?        00:13:53 -csh -x /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRKQP.TXT
mesmgr   10239  9344 47 03:59 ?        00:13:36 -csh -x /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRGWY.TXT
mesmgr   10598  9344  0 04:01 ?        00:00:00 -csh -c /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRKQQ.TXT
mesmgr   10606 10598 45 04:01 ?        00:12:17 /usr/bin/csh /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRKQQ.TXT
mesmgr   10622  9344  0 04:01 ?        00:00:00 -csh -c /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRIPU.TXT
mesmgr   10630 10622 45 04:01 ?        00:12:14 /usr/bin/csh /opt/Automic/Agent/bin/../../Agent/bin/../temp/JASRRIPU.TXT

 

These are showing in Unix but there is not equivalent in Automic

By removing the user .history file we were able to get jobs back functioning as expected
