Ambient Alerts
This hint at macosxhints describes a way of setting up ambient alerts: “Wouldn’t it be great to set up an ambient visual alert, to warn of such system issues [like runaway CPU-hogging processes] in a non-intrusive manner?”
Sadly, it goes on to say: “this is easy with a combination of cron, perl…”, which pretty much means I’ll never try it. But it’s a neat idea.
