Killing users is a NEGATIVE action, even if it's necessary; it doesn't
contribute to the system at all.  What has gelinas done POSITIVELY? 
ABSOLUTELY nothing.

A hearty 'thank you' to all the staff who keep Grex functioning in spite of
name calling, personally directed verbal abuse, and general negative feedback.

I -really- appreciate the job you're doing.

Is it possible to set a limit on the number of processes any account can run
at one time and if that is exceeded, to automatically kill them all?  And
generate a report so the account can be killed too?

#31: that would be a resource limitation that grex probably does not support
with such fine-grained detail, but experiences nonetheless through some
robocop-ish thingy.

Grex does impose a limit on the # of processes a user can use at one
time, and has further logic to kill forkbombs.  Grex does not have good
logic to limit people's ability to run a small fixed number of things in
rapid succession or otherwise more creatively increase system load.
There's an expectation here that people will behave in a responsible
fashion when it comes to shared resources, and that includes consuming
the time of staff just as much as any other scarce resource.
