Keep-It-Up Description

Keep-It-Up monitors applications to ensure they are still running Keep-It-Up-X (KIU-X) is designed to keep your Macintosh server up and running. KIU relaunches applications that crash, it can restart the Mac on a regular basis and it can monitor free disk space. It also allows you to remotely manage and monitor your Mac (server) using a webbrowser.Here are some key features of "Keep It Up X": Keep your (server) applications running· Keep-It-Up (KIU) can relaunch selected applications if for some reason they stop running (crashes, accidental quits,...)· KIU can detect applications that are hanging ("application not responding") and then kill and relaunch the application.· KIU can also perform regular scheduled restarts. This reduces the chance of anything going wrong in the first place.· KIU can also be told the keep one (server) application always in front, which improves the performance of this application. This also comes in handy for kiosks to prevent your application from being switched to the background. Remotely Manage your Mac· KIU can be used to remotely manage your Macintosh (server) using a webbrowser.· KIU has a tiny "embedded" webserver (running on a port of your choice) that allows you to remotely: restart/shutdown the Mac; view, kill or relaunch running applications; launch applications; run Applescripts; view logfiles generated by KIU or any other application; get some info about the system (free disk space, uptime, ...).The web interface approach has several advantages over remote management solutions such as "Timbuktu Pro":· you can manage the Mac from any computer that has a webbrowser installed (Mac, PC, PDA, ...)· it's small and fast· doesn't slow down your Mac· it's unlikely to cause conflicts with other software. Monitor Network ServicesKIU can check if certain Network Services are still available by polling the network port and checking for a valid response. In case of failure, it can notify you via e-mail, relaunch the corresponding application or restart the Mac. This way you can monitor your webserver, ftpserver or application server (e.g. FileMaker Pro) and check if it is still serving data and doesn't hang. E-mail notifications and alarm triggersKIU can send e-mail messages to you, actively alerting you of certain events:· free memory or free diskspace falls below a certain preset level· an application gets relaunched· KIU restarts the Mac· somebody uses an invalid username/password to access the KIU webserver Keep Appleshare volumes mountedKIU automounter will mount Appleshare volumes at startup and remount these volumes if your Mac gets disconnected from the Appleshare server is interrupted. An e-mail is sent when a volume is remounted or when the mount fails if the Appleshare server is unavailable. Virtual Memory statistics (OS X only)Virtual memory statistics help to determine if performance of your Mac can be improved by adding more RAM to your system. KIU-X continuously collects these statistics, which you can consult in the KIU webinterface. What's New in This Release: · Version 4.0.1 is a maintenance release.
