Although i personally have never used them, i'm sure they work pretty well, considering the comments below the post...but these were in the Example Scripts part of the forum..

Measure how much your script is using:

Measure how much a specific process is using:

With a little time spent it should not be too hard to incorporate a method that looks at all the processes instead of just one.

Good luck!

Run("Taskmgr.exe")
While 1
ConsoleWrite(StatusbarGetText("Windows Task Manager","",2)&@CRLF)
sleep(1000)
WEnd

This will do be, though i prefer not to have task manger present.

In an ideal world would like to know useage of just one process.

The first far more elaborate script will take a bit of work to strip down.

Thank you both for replies.

my crude code is below if anyone wants it.

it sounds ding when the cpu drops below 100

Run("Taskmgr.exe")
$counter = 0
While 1
    $op = StatusbarGetText("Windows Task Manager", "", 2)
    If $op <> "CPU Usage: 100%" Then


        $counter = $counter + 1
        If $counter > 10 Then
            SoundPlay("c:\windows\media\ding.wav")
            $counter = 0
        EndIf
    
    EndIf

If $op = "CPU Usage: 100%" Then $counter = 0
TrayTip($op,$counter,2)

    ;ConsoleWrite($op & " " & $counter & @CRLF)
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd
