PKILLER RELEASE 1.3.0, Tue Jun 12 15:44:52 CEST 2001
----------------------------------------------------

ABOUT

pkiller is a program that typically runs on a PC-lab client where
users log on and off all the time, and where the problem is hanging
processes.

The program checks the process table (using /proc/) and compares it
with the output from the /usr/bin/who command. When an inconsistency
is found it waits for 5 seconds and checks the who command again
(just in case!) Then if the user still doesn't show up, pkiller kills
the process.

INSTALLATION

Copy pkiller to /usr/local/sbin (or wherever.) Make sure the top
line points to your perl installation and that the shell command
'who' is located in /usr/bin. Run the program as root, any progress
with be logged to /var/log/pkiller
