Hi ...
has anyone ever written a program that will {stop|suspend} a program if
the system load exceeds a given level ?
in other words I want to have a way of invoking a program so that if
the load-level goes over  set figure that it (the system) will ignore
the program until the load drops below a set level.
something that is invoced like this : suspnd -l7.5,9.0  awk -f (some longwinded 
program) 
is there something like this already
or is this a lost cause???
terry
