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. Andy Figueroa On 09/27/2011 01:56 PM, David Groos wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > I use something I learned on from list a couple of years ago.
