I am looking for a utility that works under Ultrix 1.2 for recognizing and deleting idle processes or unmanned processes. The scenario is as follows: A user is logged and he/she began using "vi" or "emacs" or "more" and for some reason she/he walked away from the terminal. As far as the system is concerned the user is running a process, yet the terminal is unnatended and is a potential for a security breach. Another situation: A background process has been started by someone, who is no longer logged-in and this process is an unnecessary one therefore it should be deleted. If you have or have seen a solution please reply directly because I do not have time to read all the messages in the e-mail. Thanks in advance.
