How to restrict CPU & GPU from Folding simultaneously

As per title, I'm folding on CPU, I'm fine folding on GPU. If it folds on both it overheats and shuts down my system, which is not great!
So is there a command line I need to do to say if ID01 is running Pause ID02 and if ID02 is running Pause ID01, and where and how do I input it?

Cheers!

In the configuration, you can only set up one or the other will it fold. I recommend using mainly GPU since it is one of the most lacking resources for the project, as every system has a GPU. But no, there's no way to set only one at a time (unless you micromanage).

Which operating system are you using?
I can only speak for the Windows version, but through the Advanced Client (right-click the tray icon, select Advanced Client), you can right-click a folding slot and select pause. (see below)

Well that's a shame, I'm happy to micromanage during the day, I'm not getting that many Work Orders, I guess I'll pause the CPU overnight.

Thanks for the replies.
