Not directly; DMUCS (posted recently) may help by estimating the load on the machine. There is a TODO that distccd should reject jobs if the machine's load average is too high. It depends a bit what you mean by the computer being used; if someone's just typing then perhaps the load average or cpu utilization would be low but running a large job would still be intrusive. In that case perhaps you should start and stop distcc e.g. when the screensaver runs. I think you can script this in xscreensaver; it'd be nice to add it to the faq. -- Martin
