I would like to give my iMac G4 a rest from time to time but without having not do any work at all. Also, with version 5.25 rosetta does not quit when boinc does. When I look at activity monitor, it shows that rosetta is running and using CPU %. so i have to quit it manually from activity monitor. ID: 20112 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

And I think Scott's point is that ThreadMaster is only for Windows. Sorry Scott. Don't know of a way to do it presently on a Mac.
