Again, that's because Ctrl+Z, in a normal Unix environment, only suspends the process, it never kills it. Try kill -19 first (SIGCONT), then kill -15 or -1. You can try the following experiment: run a small example file with an error and type Ctrl+Z. You may think you exited the process, but now type "fg". You should recover the LuaTeX run in the exact state you left it. It has not been killed.

On a small example : ctrl+C works, ctrl+Z leaves unkillable (either -15 or -1) luatex and texlua process. kill -9 leaves zombies. killing the parent shell clean everything.

I've also noticed something along those lines. I've also found that CTRL+Z/C doesn't really exit the program --- there are stale processes still lying around. What I described is general, it tends to happen across big documents. Is this a known problem? � Broustet wrote: Dear context users, at first a lot of warm thanks for help and comments on using t-simpleslides. On a different matter, I now have the following problem : I do a lot of testing trying compiling my slides (using the following command : "context essai.tex"). Sometimes, I get errors and an interactive prompt that I kill with either ctrl+C or ctrl+Z (at random). I noticed that my computer was swapping (2Go RAM). With "ps xa | grep lua" I get 34 process. Using "top" and sorting by memory used the processes, I noticed 7 instances of luatex and 5 of texlua on the first page for a total of 800MB of resident memory. Did I miss something using context (I do "context essai.tex" each time that I want compile changes) ? "killall luatex" and kill -15 PID does nothing.
