Hi,
I ran apt-get dist-upgrade (after apt-get update, of course) on our server then left it for a bit. I returned periodically, usually to answer a question (keep old / use new, etc). When I came back this time, the SSH session had timed out but I can see there is a script still waiting for me to answer a question. I'm using the server edition so don't have a GUI.

I thought processes were killed with expired SSH sessions but it looks like processes 1821 ... 31234 may be something to do with my old session - particularly 24389, whose whole line reads:

Should I just kill this process and rerun it, or is there a tidier way to recover?
Thanks in advance.
