Watchdog Monitors Your Android for Run-Away Processes
Using a task killer to constantly wipe apps and save battery is not a smart strategy. Watching out for the occasional CPU-killing app makes more sense, and that's just what Watchdog Task Manager does with smart alerts.
Watchdog runs in the background, watching for apps to start using more than a certain percentage of CPU power that you specify (with a default of 80 percent). When it notices an app going out of bounds, it notifies you and offers options to kill the app, ignore it, or add it to your "Whitelist" of pay-no-mind programs. By default, Watchdog doesn't use much power itself, only checking in every two minutes or so, but you can make it run more real-time if you'd like to really pin down a problem you know is happening.

Watchdog Task Manager Lite is a free download for Android phones, with a paid version ($3.49) removing all advertisements. You can grab the Lite version with your phone using the QR code at left, or by searching the Market for "watchdog" or "zomut."
