clean_proc

clean_proc kills processes that, for one reason or another, were left running by users after they logged out. Specific users can be exempted from having their processes killed by clean_proc (i.e. you probably want it to leave root's processes alone :) You may want to run clean_proc from root's crontab every hour.

Example /etc/crontab entry:

*  */1  *  *  *  root  /usr/sbin/clean_proc
