  Description     : Background job killer

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 *killer*'s acctions) if their scheduling
priority has been reduced by increasing their nice(1) value or if they
are being run through condor.
.
When the package is installed, a cron job is installed to run killer
once an hour.

I made a draft package, available from
