    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).
