System idling?

[Joerg Battermann]

Hello there,

I was wondering whether / how it is possible to check whether the system
is idle or not to only start a specific task when enough system
ressources are available...

Any ideas, hints/links?

Best regards / MfG,

Hi Joerg
You would need to use the classes of the System.Management namespace . it
would give you details about the CPU utilization (or cpu if you have a
multi processor system )
You can read more on that link

You could just start a thread that runs with the lowest possible priority -
that won't run unless the system has anything better to do. It'll
effectively let you know when it's idle.
