The current response to this is :

If the applications that had been running on the machine can just be opened elsewhere, then they should be, and an email
should be sent to the online expert (Paolo). If the process hasn't been released by the machine, and can't be run
in multiple instances (i.e. RunControl) then the SOC should be called, who will in turn probably call the online
expert.
