The Problem is:
My application monitors the cpu usage of local machine and whenever cpu usage goes below 10%, it will send the ip address to an already designated pc, lets say a server, and that server will send some file to the 1st machine.
Now plz guide me how should i approach this problem?
What should i know to code such application?
Specially, how to monitor CPU usage?
I am using the Windows platform!
Thanx in advance!
>I am using the Windows platform!
Restoring a minimized window takes up more than 10% of the CPU on a Windows machine. So basically you want your client program to retrieve files from a server program while the machine is idling?
My best code is written with the delete key.
yes!
Its the same concept as screen saver. my application should be activated when the machine is idle!
Why not just /write/ a screen saver, and whenever it kicks in, make good use of the send() and recv() functions to transmit binary data between the two machines?
Edit: I'm not fuzzy-warm on the details. Something like Folding@home is what I mean.
