I wish I had the know how to write this program myself, this is why I came here

Is the following possible?!
a small program I can run the background that is continually monitoring temperatures, and when they get too high (I can set the shut off temp), the program shuts down folding.

this would be helpful for people running farms or just leave their PC's on a lot and may not have the ability to continually monitor.

if someone is able to do this, I am forever in your debt

and FYI, this is NOT for a class or homework, I just want to see if it is possible to do.

If you want to shut down the entire system I already have one that will do. I did not write. Sure it is for notebooks but same idea.

I was hoping more along the lines of shutdown the program, but would you care to share that program?

Personally I found the BIOS thermal monitoring which came on my motherboard ideal for this issue. It halts your system when the temp you have set has been reached.

Well the bios on most mobos will have a feature to shut down the entire pc at a certain temp. Shutting off a specific program is a bit different though, you would need some very specialized software in that it would need to be written exclusively for that task. I can't really see the marketing potential of a program that shuts off f@h so if the bios option doesn't work for you your best bet is to write the code yourself or persuade someone else who knows how.

Real Temp allows you to run an executable when it reaches alarm levels.
Navigate to:
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe
To shutdown the whole system.


If you had Windows xp you could create a shortcut that would kill it then use Real Temp to execute the kill process shortcut when it reached alarm levels. Something like this:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe process where name="Process Name" call Terminate

But i highly doubt that works in vista.

Edit: After some thinking i may have devised something you can do.

Create a new notepad document:
enter this:
taskkill /IM FAH.exe

Save as KillFAH.bat
Save that somehwere safe
Create a shortcut that links to that bat file
Use real temp to execute the shortcut

I win.

couldn't you just use a program that can monitor the temps of what ever you need and put it in standby and have it wake up after a set time like 15 min. that would allow the card to cool and then have it restart it self then reload F@H and go back to work.

If he wanted to do that he could create a shortcut that puts his computer into standby.

rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll,SetSuspendState

but i dont know how to make it wake. =/
