I nearly did so, but found too many problems with killing the wrong ones
:-).  People get upset about that ;-)   Everyone who works here, though, has
the current network and load status built into their prompt (ala tcsh's magic).
Any time something goes down, or the load gets high, they know about it.

I *do* kill off "guest" entries where the CPU is high - guesst will never
load pine, tin, etc [which spike the CPU usage for their processes pretty
easily].
