+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		       Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+                          675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+

+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+

+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+

+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+

+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+

+	Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+=head1 NAME
+
+killer - Background job killer
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+killer [B<-h>] [B<-V>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+I<killer> is a perl script that gets rid of background jobs.  Background
+jobs are defined as processes that belong to users who are not currently
+logged into the machine.  Jobs can be run in the background (and are
+expempt from I<killer>'s acctions) if their scheduling priority has been
+reduced by increasing their nice(1) value or if they are being run through
+I<condor>.  For more details, see the I<PACKAGE main> section of this
+document.
+
+The following sections describe the perl(1) packages that make up the
+killer program.  I don't expect that the version that works for me will
+work for everyone.  I think that the ProcessTable and Terminals packages
+offer enough flexibility that most modifications can be done in the main
+package.

+
+=head1 PACKAGE ProcessTable
+
+Each ProcessTable object contains hashes (or associative arrays) that map
+various aspects of a job to the process ID (PID).  The following hashes are
+provided:
+
+=over 12
+
+=item pid2user
+
+Login name associated with the effective UID that the process is running
+as.
+
+=item pid2ruser
+
+Login name associate with the real UID that the process is running as.
+
+=item pid2uid
+
+Effective UID that the process is running as.
+
+=item pid2ruid
+
+Real UID that the process is running as.
+
+=item pid2tty
+
+Terminal associated with the process.
+
+=item pid2ppid
+
+Parent process of the process
+
+=item pid2nice
+
+nice(1) value of the process.
+
+=item pid2comm
+
+Command name of the process.
+
+=back
+
+Additionally, the %remainingprocs hash provides the list of processes that
+will be killed.
+
+The intended use of this package calls for I<readProcessTable> to be called
+to fill in all of the hashes defined above.  Then, processes that meet
+specific requirements are removed from the %remainingprocs hash.  Those
+that are not removed are considered to be background processes and may be
+killed.
+

+my $pscmd = '/usr/bin/ps -e -o "user ruser uid ruid tty pid ppid nice comm"';
+

+
+my %pid2user = ();	# login name of effective uid

+my %pid2comm = ();	# Command name being executed
+my %remainingprocs = (); # The processes that have not been eliminated
+
+=head2 new
+
+This function creates a new I<ProcessTable> object.  
+
+Example:
+
+    my $ptable = new ProcessTable;
+
+=cut
+
+sub new { 
+    my $this = shift;
+    my $class = ref($this) || $this;
+    my $self = {} ;
+    bless $self, $class;
+    $self->initialize();
+    $errmsg = "";
+    return $self;
+}
+
+=head2 initialize
+
+This function (re)initializes arrays and any environment variables for external
+commands.  It generally will not need to be called, as it is invoked by
+new().
+
+Example:
+
+    # Empty out the process table for reuse
+    $ptable->initialize();
+
+=cut
+
+sub initialize() {
+    # This is required for ps(1) to work right on HP's
+    defined($ENV{UNIX95}) || ($ENV{UNIX95} = 1);
+
+    # Make sure that these are all empty...
+    %pid2user = ();	# login name of effective uid
+    %pid2ruser = ();	# login name of real user id
+    %pid2uid = ();	# effective UID of user
+    %pid2ruid = ();	# real UID of user
+    %pid2tty = ();	# tty associated with process
+    %pid2ppid = ();	# parent process ID
+    %pid2nice = ();	# nice value
+    %pid2comm = ();	# Command name being executed
+    %remainingprocs = (); # The processes that have not been eliminated
+    return;
+}
+
+=head2 readProcessTable
+
+This function executes the ps(1) command to figure out which processes are
+running.  Note that it requires a SYSV style ps(1).  
+
+Example:
+
+    # Get a list of processes from the OS
+    $ptable->readProcessTable();
+
+=cut
+
+sub readProcessTable {
+    my $self = shift;
+    my ($user, $ruser, $uid, $ruid, $tty, $pid, $ppid, $nice, $comm);
+
+    open ( PS, "$pscmd|" ) || do {
+	$errmsg = "\"$pscmd\" failed: $!";
+	return undef;
+    };
+
+    # skip the first line of input
+    <PS>;
+    while (<PS>) {
+	#print "\t$_";
+	chop;
+
+	# strip leading white space
+	$_ =~ s/^[ ]*//;
+
+	($user, $ruser, $uid, $ruid, $tty, $pid, $ppid, $nice, $comm) 
+		= split( /[ \t]+/, $_, 9 );
+	
+	$pid2user{$pid} = $user;
+	$pid2ruser{$pid} = $ruser;
+	$pid2uid{$pid} = int $uid;
+	$pid2ruid{$pid} = int $ruid;

+=head2 cleanForkBombs
+
+This function looks for a large number of processes owned by one user, and
+assumes that it is someone that is using fork() for the first time.  An
+effective way to clean up such a mess is to "kill -STOP" each process then
+"kill -KILL" each process.
+
+Note this function ignores such mistakes by root.  If root is running a
+fork(2) bomb, this script wouldn't run, right?  Also, you should be sure
+that the number of processes mentioned below (490) is less (equal to would
+be better, right?) than the maximum number of processes per user.  Also,
+the OS should have a process limit at least a couple hundred higher than
+any individual.  Otherwise, you will have to use the power switch to get
+rid of fork bombs.
+
+Each time a process is sent a signal, it is logged via syslog(3C).
+
+Example:
+
+    # Get rid of fork bombs.  Keep track of who did it in @idiots.
+    my @idiots = $ptable->cleanForkBombs();
+
+=cut
+
+sub cleanForkBombs {

+	@procs = $self->getUserProcessIds($user);
+	if ( $#procs > 490 ) {
+	    # first send a SIGSTOP
+	    foreach $pid ( @procs ) {
+		if ( kill(23, $pid) > 0 ) {
+	    	    syslog('info', "kill(23, $pid) user=%s command=%s nice=%d",
+	                     $pid2ruser{$pid}, $pid2comm{$pid},

+=head2 getUserProcessIds user
+
+This returns the list of process ID's where the login associated with the real
+UID of the process matches the argument to the function.
+
+Example:

+
+=head2 getUniqueTtys
+
+This function returns a list of terminals in use.  Note that the format
+will be the same as given by ps(1), which will generally lack the leading
+"/dev/".
+
+Example:
+
+    # Get a list of all terminals that processes are attached to
+    my @ttylist = $ptable->getUniqueTtys();

+=head2 removeProcessId pid
+
+This function removes pid from the list of processes to be killed.  That
+is, it gets rid of a process that should be allowed to run.  Most likely
+this will only be called by other functions in this package.
+
+Example:
+
+    # For some reason I know that PID 1234 should be allowed to run
+    $ptable->removeProcessId(1234);

+    }
+}
+
+=head2 removeProcesses psfield, psvalue
+
+This function removes processes that possess certain traits.  For example,
+if you want to get rid of all processes owned by the user "lp" or all
+processes that have /dev/console as their controlling terminal, this is the
+function for you.  
+
+psfield can be any of the following

+
+If I am a user really trying to avoid a background job killer, I would
+likely include a signal handler that would wait for signal 15.  When I saw
+it, I would fork causing the parent to die and the child would continue on
+to do my work.  
+
+Assuming that everyone thinks like me, I figure that I will
+need to make at least two complete passes to clear up the bad users.  The
+first pass is relatively nice (sends a signal 15, followed a bit later by a
+signal 9).  A well-written program will take the signal 15 as a sign that
+it should clean up and then shut down.  When a process gets a signal 9, it
+has no choice but to die.
+
+The second pass is not so nice.  It finds all background processes, sends
+them a signal 23 (SIGSTOP), then a signal 9 (SIGKILL).  This pretty much
+(but not absolutely) guarantees that processes are unable to find a way
+around the background job killer.

+=head1 BUGS
+
+There is a small window of opportunity for a user that reaches $maxidletime
+in the middle of this script to get unfair treatment.  This could probably
+be reconciled by shaving some time off of maxidletime for the second call
+to main::gatherInfo.
+
+It is still possible to get around the background job killer by having a
+lot of proceses that watch each other to be sure that they are still
+responding (have not yet gotten a signal 23).  As soon as a stopped process
+is found, the still running process could fork(), thus leaving a background
+process that is not going to be killed.
+
+Different operating systems have different notions of nice values.  Some go
+from -20 to +19.  Some go from 0 to 39.  Solaris and HP-UX (using System V
+ps command) report nice values between 0 and 39.  
+
+It is bad to assume that all systems that run this have the same number of
+processes per user.  The script should ask the OS how many processes normal
+(non-root) users can run.
+
+=head1 TODO
+
+The configuration is quite minimalistic.  It should be made possible to have
+per-host configuration directives so that you can, for instance, allow
+certain people to run background jobs on certain hosts.
+
+People that really care about finding habitual offenders will probably want
+to have a way to add entries to a database and flag those that pop up too
+often.  
+
+Thoroughly test on more operating systems.  A very close relative of this
+code has performed well on about 60 Solaris 2.5.1 machines.  It has been
+lightly tested on HP-UX 10.20 as well.
+
+Make mailing to someone optional.  If you have a lot of workstations
+killing off boring stuff all the time, too much meaningless mail traffic is
+generated.
+
+If you plan to run this on a machine that runs special processes like a POP
+or IMAP server, it would be handy to be able to check multiple conditions
+easily.  Perhaps 
+
+    $ptable->removeProcesses( { comm => 'imapd', 
+                                parentComm => 'inetd',
+                                parentUser => 'root' } );
+
+This would make it so that people don't rename the crack binary imapd to
+escape the wrath of killer.
