Stale Processes

[Andy Figueroa]

Thanks for the plug, David.

I still use both sets of scripts productively, though my 8.04
installation has been upgraded to 10.04.  I didn't have to make any
changes to these scripts during the upgrade.

There is also a thread at:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2009-December/005906.html
that prompted the improvements that I made on that date, 20091203.

Direct links to the two sources are at:

http://cathedralsoul.us/files/killstale.txt

and

http://cathedralsoul.us/files/killusers.txt

I don't usually have to do any routine reboots to clean out stale or
orphaned process.  At this time, by LTSP server has been running for 57
days.
