deamon help

[Glenn Pitcher]

I have just been given the assignment of writting a deamon that would monitor
a list of programs for inactivity and after a certain amount of inactive time,
send a signal to the process.  The process would then do a gracefull shutdown.

One requirement is that this program must work under SysV and BSD (SunOS).  

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
