Okay, great. Let's file a bug report on this -- and also against fam!
And let's remove this package (or have it replaced) by default
installation.
As my server was upgraded, "locate kill |grep edu" delivered:
/etc/debian-edu/nightkill.conf
/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/logoutkill.sh
/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/nightkill.sh
Peeking into nightkill.sh gave me a dejavu:
# $Id: logoutkill.sh 42155 2008-07-02 12:54:32Z holger $
# This script could be run from /etc/kde2/kdm/Xreset by adding the line
# '/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/logoutkill.sh $USER'
# right before the line
# 'exit 0'
Mind the date and "kde2"!
Nevertheless, there ARE quite a few processes left behind (e.g.
openoffice) that are not using any CPU time but memory. As opposed to
htop, top counts also "zombies" (but not these ones) - I can give you
some example:

Those are all left-behinds from during the past week.
I suggest to re-introduce those auto-kill scripts by defaults.
Additionally/alternatively, I have some energy-saving idea:
I remember pere having introduced some script that turns off terminals
over night. Why not even turn off LTSP servers (apart from
combiservers)? To do so
(1) The main server (tjener) must wake up them in the morning.
(2) LTSP servers have to check if they are able to wake on LAN
(3) LTSP servers that are so, have to shutdown at night.
1. Tjener: [cronjob at 6 am] for all known LTSP (LDAP?): etherwake!
+ touch /skole/tjener/home0/system/etherwake (rm after 10 min)
2. LTSP: [at boot time]:
if /skole/tjener/home0/system/etherwake exists (etherwake works!)
=> activate cronjob for shutting down at night.
3. LTSP: [script to shutdown over night (only run if I am not tjener)]
shutdown at midnight.
This idea has fixed times (midnight until 6 a.m.) that should be pre-
defined in ldap, so they can be changed on demand.
What do you think?

Ralf
