lock em out if this continues!!!!
You can create a script and then have it run every few minutes to kill the offending process, so that they will have great difficulty doing it again.

You should be able to search for "capture PID" on this forum and find a script that will help you out. Then you can kill it at you leisure!!! Smilie


If this remains a very serious problem, I would suggest talking to their boss or I would lock out the user from the box. Change their password to a *.
