In principle also other batch systems could be affected by this business; either they are smarter in starting the user job with a fresh environment, or so far it was very unlikely for an admin to restart the WN daemon in an interactive session (via ssh one would also avoid the problem). > I will now add another layer on tup of /etc/profile.d/grid-env.sh which prevent > this from being executed when called as root. We could investigate if that condition can be imposed in general, or at least on the WN. Feel free to open a ticket...
