I'm trying to use Servers Alive v4.0.1447 to tell me when one of my servers
is having trouble.  One symptom of the trouble on the server is that CPU
utilization will stick at 100% forever - as java.exe eats up any free time.

I've configured salive to use NT perfmon to check "Processor,% Processor
Time,0" and alert when > 99 with a 30 second timeout and a second knock.

What I'm seeing is that salive will discover that the server is busy, and
then immediately check it again.  That sounds like a reasonable thing for
salive to do.  Unfortunately, CPU utilization can peak for a few seconds -
and then return to normal.

In this case, I'd much rather that it alert me only when the CPU is busy for
2 successive tests (i.e. one minute apart).  Then, it can alert me again if
the utilization returns to normal (not very likely).

I think that I could kludge this by using the 'Execute command' alert with a
couple batch files.

Is there an easier way?
