[IPython-dev] ipython1 kill()

[Brian Granger]

The engines cannot be killed when they are busy.  The reason is that
you can't send a signal over the network.  To really do a hard kill
you need to send a signal (using kill, etc.) and for that you simply
have to log into the machine running the engine or use some sort of
cluster management software to kill the process.  We do have long term
plans on adding some of this type of stuff to IPython1 itself, but we
are not there yet.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
