Had to look at process list to see it's not stuck.

It's 3 in the morning on a Saturday and I'm trying to use SLURM to spawn a batch job on a Linux frontend node, which SSH's into a Windows 11 VM, spawns a msys2 UCRT64 shell, then runs a bash script in it.
Not even the KPDH soundtrack I'm blasting is enough to excise the demons here.
