## Symptoms

- * After the initiation of `migrate_export`, the user did **ctrl+c** operation instead of **Y/N** .  
  `Are you sure you want to proceed ? (y/n)[n] ^c ( )`  

  On screen, the operation was cancelled but the `migrate export` process still ran in the background.
* When the user tried again to run ./migrate_server export -R80.40 /var/log/migrate_export , it showed the error:   

  `Verification failed:\n1. Export is already in process. You can't run more than one export at a time. `

## Cause

The `exportIsRunning` file should be deleted after the export is finished, but for some reason the file remained under $MDS_FWDIR/tmp/.
