Hi Gilberto, thank you for your testings.
I suggest adding the script to the debian-edu-config package (same location as nightkill.sh). The Python script is obviously run in daemon mode: >while True: > time.sleep(5) > myKiller.searchZombies() Now, let's discuss possible options - like: -s: single run -d: daemon mode (start in background anyway) -l: support logging -I<n>: loop interval in seconds ... An interval of 5-10 seconds seems to be tight enough in order to prevent that a user reported having logged out did not log in again, meanwhile. Such option/optimizing can be left to the packaging process. There and here, the naming should be regarded once more: There is already a package "killer" - hence I suggest to use another naming. The final decision should be left to José - I suggest something like z[ombie-]hunter or [left-behind-]process-purger or even ghosthunter (or any real name of any well-known zombie-chaser]... I suggest to post further comments or decisions within bug 1392 [1]: "add josé's zombie hunter to /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/" Kind regards Ralf [1] http://bugs.skolelinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392 Am Sunday, 8.
