The TScale CPU optimization is nothing more that just changing the priority
of the thread. You can do this for free with threadmaster
(http://threadmaster.tripod.com <http://threadmaster.tripod.com/> )
Appsense will cap CPU utilization for process, but if you want a true CPU
workload manager I would suggest looking at ArmTech from Aurema.
Generally these apps do not kill rouge processes as killing a process could
lead to an unstable system (Thus people will start blaming these companies
for those lovely blue screens.)
If you really want to do it automatically, you can script it . But I prefer
to know which processes are hanging and rip the vendor a new one until its
fixed.

Subject: [THIN] REQ: App to kill process after XX seconds of maxing out
I have been using TSCALE for a while. I confess to not being a pro using the
app.
It works seems to work by reducing the priority of rogue crashing apps.
Which is great, but I would like it (or something else) to kill the affected
app after XX amount of time.
for example, we have an app that I can make crash. It max's out at 25% CPU
(I think this is Tscale kicking in) but never closes.
Our users are have a very small amount of computer know how. They do not
know how to use task manager to kill a process.
So I am looking for either a new task manager that is clever to display a
popup box to the user asking if they want to kill it OR get one to do it
automatically based on certain criteria
