Does anybody anywhere know of a watchdog-type program that will automatically
log out (or simply stop) processes that are left idle for long periods of
time?  We used to have a DECUS version running on our VMS machine, but when
we put in our DECservers, it no longer worked.  Supposedly it has something
to do with the LAT software polling the DECservers and therefore not logging
any idle time.

Any help would be appreciated.

(We are currently running VMS 4.6 on a clustered 8250 and two 11/785's.)
