Perhaps it would also be prudent to, between steps 2 and 3, to insert
some way of notifying the user about the pending kill 10, 5, 1 minute
beforehand (and tool should be intelligent enough to auto-dismiss the
dialog box if no response after a timeout period).

I'm just afraid that the proposed solution, as is, may really anger
someone who was working on something important during a late night
work session, and seeing it all disappear. It's especially not fun
getting reallllly angry calls from execs. :)

And then you've got some sites that runs call centers, and so forth.
