   PROCMON - RUNAWAY PROCESS MONITOR

** GENERAL:

   This application is used to scan the table of running processes and killing

   those that has gone to lunch or exceeded the given CPU-time limit.

   It is etiher runned periodical in single shot mode from crontab or command

   line or forked into the background as a daemon process (using the -b option).

** REQUIREMENTS:

   The procps package must be installed, along with headers and libs to 

   compile this application.

** DAEMON:

   The process can be controlled by sending signals when running as daemon.

   Sending SIGKILL or SIGTERM will ask the daemon to exit. Sending SIGHUP

   will force the process to immediate begin a scanning of running processes.

** SIGNAL & SCRIPT:

   The default action is to send a signal (SIGTERM) to each process that exceeds

   the given CPU-time limit. It is also possible to define a script to run in

   addition to signaling. The script gets executed thru system(3) with PID and

   command name as arguments.
