Not certain that this is what you are looking for but....
I am not right now on k12 machine but there is a PURGE setting in
/etc/defaults/k12??? that needs to be set to YES. When a user logs off
all his processes are pruged freeing up resources. With that set we
were able to run for 90+ days till a power outage killed us.
Or you can run a script to kill all user processes at midnight when no
one is about. Look up archives for such a script.
