How to identify disconnected telnet sessions?

AIX 5.2

Hello,

Our ERP system runs off AIX 5.2 & is on a Progress database. We use WRQ
Reflection to connect to AIX. Every so often, our telnet session is
abruptly terminated while we are connected to the db. Over a period of
time, if a lot of people get disconnected, there are too many db
connections open & we have to manually identify those & kill them. Is
there a way to identify these via a script/command? How can I tell if a
user is actually connected or if it is a disconnected session still
lying around? Do I look for the 'telnetd -a' in the output of ps -ef?
Thanks for any suggestions.
