    You may need to apply the kill "cont" command to all of the child processes, like this... 

    ps -eL | grep python | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n 1 kill -s cont

    If this doesn't help you, you may want to investigate why the processes are falling in to wait states to begin with. A strategically placed 'echo -n' might shed some light. For example, are they expecting input from a user or another process?

    Good luck.
