I think it should be fairly simple to bind to the F@H process and retrieve its properties. If I'm not mistaken, the process that does all the work is named something like "FahCore_???.exe" The ???s are wildcards. If you're using the Google F@H client, it may be called "GoogleFahCore_???.exe"
The example I'm showing here uses vb.net, though you may be able to do something similar in vbscript.
Since you don't know the exact name of the process at runtime, you'll need to load all running processes into memory and find the right one
==========================================================
imports system
imports system.diagnostics
Class myProcessClass
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim myProcesses() as Process 'array of processes
Dim myProcess As Process
Dim fahProcess As Process
'populate your array with the current running processes
myProcesses = Process.GetProcesses()
'loop through the array to find the f@h process
for each myProcess in myProcesses
'find the string "fahcore" within the process name
if instr(myProcess.ProcessName, "fahcore") > 0 then
fahProcess = myProcess
end if
next
console.writeline("Total Processor Time = " & fahProcess.TotalProcessorTime.ToString)
end sub
end class
As written above, this will only display the processor usage once before exiting. For the purposes of a widget, you'll want to periodically check the processor usage. How you want to handle that is up to you, but I would suggest looking at other widget scripts which show total CPU usage, etc.
There is no error checking in the above 'script', and it sure isn't pretty. My intention was just to provide you with a quick idea of how to bind to a particular process and display information about it.
