In responce to Graham@drcvax.arpa, I'll be sending him my source code for
Nanny.

For those of you who don't know, Nanny is a multi-functional detached process
for VAX VMS V4+ sites that offers the following:
	1) Idle process termination
	2) Disk error detection and freespace watch
	3) Memory management: if all processes are asking for more CPU than
	   avail, suspend low prio (background) batch jobs until demand goes
	   away.
	4) Wake-up calls (request a message to be send to a specified user
	   at a specified time).
	5) Semi-annual time change for daylight savings (programmed for PST
	   to PDT and back).
	6) Process priority hack to discourage interactive computing.
	7) Many more options...
All of the above can be enabled or disabled. Space is also reserved for new
functions/commands. Send source requests to
	ZAR @ CITCHEM (Bitnet) ---> preferred method
	ZAR @ XHMEIA.CALTECH.EDU [192.12.19.15] (Arpanet)
	XHMEIA::ZAR [area 5 node 920] (Span/HEPNet)
