So if you have exported the TMOUT - then the user shells log out,
but does this vendorApp still carry the memory of the ttyline???
When it does a psuedo backgrounding of itself???
{ hey it did detach itself from the login shell.... }
At which point you may wish to grab in the whole of the procTable
Data and check for the marooned applications... but that would
mean checking for things that would not have a controlling terminal
as well....
