Hi Steffen, thanks for the hint. Another level of ltsp-administration is 
needed (in my experience) to handle CPU load. 

AND and nightkill.sh do a good job overall, but the more I start using 
java tools, the more often my dual CPU core is under heavy load (99%) 
and causes lagging. Today, a user couldn't even log in because a 
forking java/netbean-process (>250 processes) had created a 120 MB log 
file in his home directory. Even for me it took quite a while to kill 
all these processes. 

What other tools do you use to keep LTSP's CPU's at decent load? What 
tools do you offer for plain teachers?

Regards
Ralf
