Used command 'top' on node, now just blinking _ .


Hi!

I wanted to see which processes were running on a certain node of a half-finished cluster, so I logged in as a normal user, and tried 'top'.
However, I didn't get any response. I tried to quit by pressing 'q', but it doesn't make any difference, I still only get an underscore _ blinking at me.

How do I get back to running normal commands on the terminal?

Thanks in advance...

Log into a second session, kill top from there?
