ZAP is an idle process monitor which is used to remove processes
from the system if they are no longer performing work. This is
often used to enhance security (logging out peoples terminals after
they have walked away) or to free up resources on systems which
have a limited number of terminal lines, memory, etc.
WHO is a small utility which shows the different non-system processes
on the system and what each of them is executing. It is a very
simple program similar in function to WHAT (except far more limited
in scope).
