Hi,
I don't want the notebook server to automatically restart my kernels when they die. How can I achieve this? The config variable
KernelManager.autorestart
should fill my need, but does not seem to have any effect. BTW, the documentation says that the default value for this variable is False, but when I kill a kernel, it is always restarted automatically by the notebook server. I've tried to set the variable explicitly to False, but the behavior remains the same: my kernels get restarted automatically as soon as I kill them. Is this normal?I need to be able to kill older kernels in order to free up memory. Using JupyterHub, I run many notebook servers for many users on the same machine, but my users often don't cleanup their kernels themselves. Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
BTW, I run
ipython 4.0.0
