Automatic adjustment of process priority by ProcessGuard?

[polle]

Hi,

I'm wondering, if it might be possible to implement a function in ProcessGuard to automatically set the priority of a process.
I have a Chessprogram which uses all of my CPU unless I manually reduce its priority to low. It would be nice if PG could do this for me.

Thanks :)

Polle,
That isn't really a security related function so you might be better off looking at another program to accomplish this

One that I know of (and use myself) is Process Tamer (http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/proctamer/index.html) by Mouser from Donation Coder it also has a forum (http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/index.php?board=16.0)to discuss new features and it is donation ware and can be quite useful for situations like that

Another one is Process Lasso (http://www.bitsum.com/prosuper.asp) which has a free version and a paid for version

There is also a command line option if i'm not mistaken. Brb as I search google :)

edit: whops got carried away with some stuff, will check now ;)

Perhaps a later version will offer some useful capabilities like this as side effects.. especially if there is a commandline. Process Tamer looks useful though.

Priority could also be part of other features added in a later version. There are uses, suspension termination and priority could become a subset of features. Big features need a lot of work, but why add one little feature when you can add more wide powerful features which enable tens of smaller ones ? :)

Yer..

I stumbled upon this reg tweak a while ago that adds a right click context menu when you right click on an executable file and you can launch the program with any cpu priority you specify.

Example (put in a shortcut): cmd.exe "C:\program.exe" -realtime or something....

Can't find it anymore.
