    Hello Peter, interesting topic...

    I was checking on some forums, and as far as i could read... if
your kernel hasn't
    the affinity support, you must patch it for yourself (yoooomiiiiiiii!!! :S).
    When your kernel got the support, then you can think about try
something from the
    command line as an script calling your applications.

    This are some links interesting if someone wants to read more about this:

   I hope this help a little.
