And I happen to know of Yet Another Job Killer.  At a local university
an old decus idlewatch program was inhanced to be sensitive to the load
on the system.  The standard idle stop parameters were tied to the number
of users, allowing the system manager define the values.  The application
would be to allow idle users to be idle in an idle system, while requiring
them to utilize their interactve port when the system is busy.

Send me mail if your interested in the code.
