On the Unix servers, there is a program called reaper that does this...  It
mainly watches idle ttys before doing anything though.

why is it that some normal processes like shells can take up full cpu time
on BSD systems waiting for input?  Some sort of race condition?  I
freqenltly see my shells running @ 99% CPU time for hours when I log in
