I've got a perl script I call the "stupid process killer" that does this
kind of thing and more. It will kill:
- idle users
- long sessions
- CPU hogs
- unwanted network server processes
- disconnected processes (left when a user logs out)
- too many processes per user (can be ulimited in Linux easier)
- a few other things I don't remember right now
It is configurable with exclusions for most things.
I haven't run it on Linux in around 5-6 years now (running on Tru64
right now). If I get a chance, I'll try to clean up a few loose ends
and put it up somewhere.
