Support Process Reeping Plugin

Support a daemon, that when enabled, will remove interactive logins from the host for users who do not have workload on those systems.

This can presently be done through an ELIM, but it would be nice if it were in the core of our process monitoring component in LSF

    The required behavior is ultimately site specific, and varies from market to market. In many commercial organizations, killing someone's session would not be in the organizations general interest.

    The node health check NHC package contains such a check for killing users who do not have jobs running on the node, and of course, requires configuration to ignore daemons/services that are running as users who should not be killed.

    By default, interactive logins can be disabled, so no user would have an interactive session on a host outside of a job.

    As you mention, the lsf_pam module can be used to grant access to nodes where the user is running jobs.

    The lsf_pam module could be extended to attach the login to the same cgroup as the job, so it would be killed when the job is terminated.
