If anyone else tries to test this, it looks like under bash the pamela
set up script is broken so you'll get a 'extnor: command not found'.
I'll put in the one character fix into the repo, but in the meantime
you can just run:
source $PAMELA_DIR/pamela.sh
instead I think.
On the actual issue:
I can get the same behaviour with other Starlink packages too -- I
also never try and kill things by closing the terminal so I hadn't
seen this before.
To test I started kappa 'stats', and then closed the terminal while it
was prompting me for the input NDF (without providing one). The
process is then still visible in another terminal, seen by running ps
aux|grep kappa .This was on centos6.
We've seen issues in the past with zombie monoliths from ORAC-DR, but
I don't remember any issues with hanging processes other than that.

If you start pamela and get that one going, and kill the terminal it doesn't die. Actually, I have just found it does the same under linux! Is there some standard fix for this? I never noticed before because always ctrl-C as opposed to killing the terminal session.
