I'm looking to automatically kill a process if it gets over a certain CPU percentage. I need to know what API function to call to get the CPU percent.

I already know how to get a list of processes.

Thanks. It looks like you have to get the kernel/user times of all processes and do some math.

Hi Roland;

  FWIW: Have a look at my STD Framework's "Windows Explorer" App. It can locate any process and kill it ...

http://chrispollach.blogspot.com/2024/02/explorer.html

The Explorer works in either M-Code or P-Code compiles and either 32 or 64 bit mode.

The framework is Free & open Source, so feel free to use my code as applicable.   HTH  ;-)

Regards ... Chris

Chris,

I think you missed the point that Roland is trying to find the CPU usage for a given process BEFORE his app decides if it needs to kill it.

Yes, just add something like this then into the processing Roland wants to do ...

Unsure if this will help, but it appears that WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) may provide a means of doing this:

If you have not already done so, I suggest checking other web sites, such as StackOverflow.com
