runaway processors

[Chris <chris@ormond.unimelb.edu.au>]

Hi all,

I am having problems with user process's running away (taking up 99.8%
CPU time) on our linux server (primary examples being elvis and netscape).
Is there an easy way to get the server to recognise these - and kill them
off?  I know elvis runs away if you close the xterm (or window manager)
that elvis is running in - I haven't figured out the cause for the
others...

Thanks,

Chris
