I work on a linux machine connected to a cluster. If I do top on a terminal, I see many (~200) sleeping processes. Probably they were caused by me by inappropriately Ctrl+C-ing those processes. How do I know which sleeping jobs are safe to kill?EDIT: I can check the processes by ps -e S. The problem is, probably, that I do not understand the output. For example:24086 pts/0    Ss+  11971:50 -tcsh24084 ?        S      0:00 (sd-pam)22183 ?        Sl    10:08 /usr/bin/gedit --gapplication-service4790 ?        S      0:00 [kworker/u16:2]1043 tty7     Ssl+  91:14 /usr/sbin/brld --nodaemonAnd many others. How do I know that by killing them I do not cause any trouble to my machine or to other's logged-in jobs?
How do I know which sleeping jobs are safe to `kill`?
kill;sleep
