I use teh script below on some Linux-boxes. It checks every 30 seconds if
there are any active users on the computer, execpt the ones i $USRS, which
are users who have accepted that the program runs when they are active.
Secondly it checks the load on the computer (5 minute average). If there
are any active users (active during the last ten minutes) or the load goes
above $MAXL, then mprime is killed. If the load goes back under $STAL and
no user (except $USRS) have been active during the last ten minutes, then
mprime is started again.
