Yes. When you can see that all jobs have run as far as they can,
terminating rule_manager can be sensible.

Rule_manager can also continue running for a short period after all jobs
have successfully completed, especially if the input_id_analysis table
has become large and rule manager needs to check lots of jobs to see if
anything should be run. If you don't want to wait for rule_manager, you
may want to kill it in these circumstances too.

After you terminate rule_manager, remember to check the meta table for a
pipeline.lock, which may be left behind and will prevent you running
rule_manager again until it is removed.

You should also remove the void Genscan jobs from the pipeline, or at
least make sure that their settings are such that rule_manager won't
pick them up next time you run it.

Regards,
Susan.
