	WATCHDOG is a program which monitors an interactive process for
	activity and determines if a process is logged out after a defined
	interval. An inactive process is indicated by no change in CPU time
	and no buffered I/O count within a defined interval.  Messages will
	be sent to the inactive process at a defined interval until the
	maximum inactive time limit is reached.  A final message is sent
	to the user and a optional message is sent to the central
	operator notifying that a user has being stopped.  Another
	options is ignoring a group of users.  Many of the options
	exist and are documented.  At worst case you should enjoy
	the comments made by the developer.

	Changes and Improvements:
		Full Support of V5 including multiprocessing environment.
		Minor Bug fixes.
