Thanks - works like a charm!!

This sounds like it would address my needs and also help identify when other work is pre-empting WU's and reducing their CPU usage ("other work" may be legitimate or not)
Thanks again.

Ok - thanks for wish list
Also thanks for the product itself.

I connect to the World Community Grid Project - accepting all their WU's.
I have several machines running BOINC 6.2.28 or 5.10.45 on Windows XP or 2008 R2, also occasionally on Ubuntu.
This "stuck" condition is fixed by stoppng and re-starting the remote client. It has happened on FAAH and HFCC once or twice in the past month and from reading WCG posts it is not exactly common but is also not unheard of. The WU's eventually error-out if they are not noticed, but it can take many hours.
I am trying to migrate from Boincview to BoincTasks but find that BoincTasks does not tell me when all CPU's are busy doing BOINC work
When an application (WU) is in this state Boincview shows 0.000 in CPU Efficiency - BoincTasks still shows CPU% as 100% for that WU.  (I realize from other posts that I may not understand what CPU% is intended to report - I don't have any GPU's)
I think if BT could report actual CPU% being used I could trigger a warning (which is what I do in BoincView) when it is below a threshhold.

Occasionally Boinc WU tasks get "stuck" and make no progress for several hours.
Could BoincTasks "Warnings" be adapted to flag a task that makes no progress for a specified period in minutes?
The CPU% column still shows 100% for these even though they are actually consuming 0% CPU according to Windows Task manager.
