How can I be alerted when a process goes idle (that is, its CPU usage reaches zero for a sustained period on Windows 7?

Question

Essentially, I have a long running batch process that is pegging one of the cores. While I am able to work on other tasks, I sometime forget to check if it has finished. Is there a way I can be alerted when it is finished by monitoring the processes CPU usage?

Have you thought of using SNMP to monitor CPU usage and send a trap when it goes idle; or whatever you want ?
