Yep! But the time entry only allows the program to sleep (still eating
all CPU cycles even when running at zero priority). Take any NT 4.0 or
W2K machine and you will see the "system idle time" doesn't add seconds
while Prime95 still eats them (and doing nothing).
For my servers to become prime95's I need to be sure they only run what
I have planned at anytime.
I can start Prime95 scheduled. I don't mind!
But the users should never have one chance of claiming servers aren't
available or even running "slow".
I know you are certain and I know you gotta be damn good at this (very
far beyond anything I will ever manage); but still any doubt will become
my users advantage.
Make the sleepy nights for my servers glorius. I make them start prime95
by a schedule and You make prime95 die by harikiri - and I decide when
everything happens. :-) Tnx in advance.
Still happy hunting

Look in readme.txt for the Time= entry in prime.ini
This feature can be used to make prime95 go dormant at a
specified time.
Hope that helps,
George
