AFAIK, no. You can set up a process watcher to scan for processes with a certain name and set their affinity, or you can call the processes with a set affinity at start. If you're calling an executable, call it with a processor affinity (which should be inherited by child processes). If it's a script, modify it to call with affinity.

The command to set affinity on a running process, or launch a new process with given CPU affinity is 'taskset'.
