In one of the DES or RC5 challenges, there was a simple C program that would check the current system load, and if it got to high, stop a program. Once it got low enough, it would be restarted. Does anyone remember where this program is, and if so, could you compile it (I remember having problems). If not, I can dig it up when I get home and post it (it's small). It probably needs some work though. Brandon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
