I have a TeamCity (5.1.2) server with currently one agent. During the day, it is idle, unless somebody manually triggers a build.

I would like to trigger builds on VCS-Changes to have recent builds available. However, this should not clog the build server at times when people are scheduling manual builds/tests etc, since this has priority. Is there a way to add a build condition that looks at the queue length?

I could not find such a variable in the docs:
http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD5/Predefined+Properties#PredefinedProperties-ServerBuildProperties

Is there something undocumented, or another reasonable heuristic for this scenario?

    Any particular reason you only have one Agent installed? TeamCity allows up to 3 Agents even on its free Professional Edition. We’ve got two Agents installed on one moderately powerful machine and had no issues.

    Anyways I can’t think of anything that I’ve come across with TC that will help, apart from perhaps the new Build Queue Priorities plugin…
