Ok.  I will do a killall on the nc jobs.  Also if swift fails to

it failed to shutdown 4 blocks and no has hung.  There are no more jobs 
in the queue and none are being submitted anymore.

Computers are incredibly fast, accurate, and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate, and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination.
