ME10F.exe doesn't terminate

Did somebody experience such a behavior:
On a VMware Windows Server 2019, used as a Job Server, ME10 doesn't terminate.
I started manualy Drafting 20.4, then I typed EXIT CONFIRM. Drafting main screen disappeared immediatly, but the Task Manager reported ME10F.exe process with 0 processor load, but never disappear.
Anybody any idea?

I never heard / read about that behaviour (at least my old brain does not remember :-D )

have you done a ME10 trace ?

Code:

trace del_old 'c:/temp/jobserver_me10.log'

{ what you normally do here ... }

exit confirm

{ trace off }

DISPLAY_NO_WAIT "upsss ME10 should not run any more 001"

DISPLAY_NO_WAIT "upsss ME10 should not run any more 002"

DISPLAY_NO_WAIT "try the hard way... "

RUN "TASKKILL /F /IM me10f.exe /T

DISPLAY_NO_WAIT "upsss ME10 should not run any more 101"

DISPLAY_NO_WAIT "upsss ME10 should not run any more 102"

trace off

Normally the trace off's should not be executed at all .. but . something strange is going on on your VM!

And yes, killing the process by executing the kill command itself is rather tricky.. but may be a workarround.

Thank you Wolfgang
I fixed the trouble. ME10 running background on the Job Server tried to call a non responding module. The TRACE could not be flushed and this turned me blind. Hopefully additional accurate checks put me back on right tracks.
