ProcessTamer / New Feature: Process Time Watcher and Killer.
« on: November 13, 2007, 04:23 PM »
Hello,
I would like to first commend on the excellent program you have here however I still get some ptgui errors.
I have noticed a really important feature that is missing for this program which should be incorporated into Process Tamer.
How about a timeout period for a specific program name to not allow it run more than X amount of minutes.
Example:
I have a virus scan that runs via command line and should terminate within 120 seconds. The program that spawns this virus scan can not properly terminate the program and leaves it hanging running at full tilt. I would like to be able to select the program name and set a max CPU time per instance. Now if it sees that one of the instances is running over the set X amount of seconds/Minutes/hours/days eg: 120 seconds of CPU time, then I would have process tamer kill the instance of the program.
I hope something like this can be added.
Thanks.
