         WATCHER is a flexible idle terminal monitor.  The  system  manager
         specifies   which   terminals   should   be  watched;  and,  on  a
         per-terminal basis, which measurements should be used to determine
         that  a  process  is  idle and how long the job should remain idle
         before being logged out.  One can also specify which  jobs  should
         not  be  monitored  based  on  any  combination  of username, UIC,
         identifiers and privileges held, terminal, port  information,  and
         day  of  week/hour  of  day.   Version  2.8-1.   Written in BLISS.
