Killing Stuck or Stale Resque Jobs

On hydra-worker1.l.o.e, at a shell prompt:
Find the parent process: ps -e -o pid,command | grep [r]esque

Look for "Forked N at T" then issue kill -9 for the process: kill -9 {process ID (N)}

That should kill the job process and the worker should resume working on a new job.
