Distinguishing "Strayed jobs" and "Nohup jobs"

Lemme rephrase my problem,

We have problem determining strayed and nohup processes. My question is
how can we determine if a process is running because of nohup signal or is
it a stray process?

Strayed - I mean the unwanted process consumig lot of cpu cycles started
by the user; but system could not clean it when the user logs out.

Note: I am not talking about <defunct> processes

Because both strayed and nohup processes do not have any tty associated
with them and "ps" does not distinguish between them, so was wondering if
there was a way to find and differentiate between them.

Your input is appreciated
