Hi, I set up a zeek cluster which looks like this:  
[logger-1]  
type=logger  
host=localhost  
[manager]  
type=manager  
host=localhost  
[proxy-1]  
type=proxy  
host=localhost  
[worker-1]  
type=worker  
host=localhost  
interface=enp59s0f0  
lb\_method=pf\_ring  
lb\_procs=5  
pin\_cpus=2,3,4,5,6

Zeek is started normally capturing correct packets. But when I stop zeek using zeekctl stop, it takes a long time and shows  
worker-1-1 did not terminate ... killing ...  
worker-1-2 did not terminate ... killing ...  
Why is this happening? How can I solve it?
