Searching aimlessly running processes on classroom workstations in the University of Aizu

To establish an effective management system for computer cluster is important, from both educational and research viewpoint. In classroom workstations of our university, some hosts are heavily loaded when no one has logged in. This load is mainly caused by aimlessly running process. In educational situation, owner of these processes must be warned. In research view, tracing load behavior of each host is useful for distributed computing. The total number of classroom workstations is quite large, with many educational computer classrooms of our university. We searched aimlessly running processes, and reported the result of searching experiments for those aimlessly running processes.
