That's right, a new Watchdog action is coming in v6.6.0.41 beta and later. I am putting the final touches on now.

This new feature will allow one to execute any command when a watchdog threshold is hit.

That gives you the capacity to do just about anything, especially when combined with some upcoming command-line tools for process manipulation.

Beautiful.  :D
Metro? ::)
Just kidding, and I think it will become more powerful as we can adding many function inside of it. :)

Executing a command allows for *anything* to be accomplished, that's why I should have added it FIRST THING.

There is a Windows command line utility 'wmic' that will allow process operations via the command line, and many other things. For instance, to change the priority class of a process:

wmic process where name="notepad.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"

Ya, I think many people don't know about this command line yet...
