Port Monitor 0.6, 20010227 Copyright 2001 Ryan Casey Provion, LLC --- Tested with Tcl/Tk FreeWish 8.3.2 on Windows 2000 Professional --- Port Monitor is a program to monitor the status of ports on a server. It supports unlimited numbers of server/port combinations, which are currently specified in the portmon.ini file as: Test Server IP PORT Test Server (alternate port) IP PORT2 Test Server 2 IP2 PORT The first column is a string for a name you want to associate with the IP/Port combination. The second column is the IP you want to monitor. The third column is a port you want to monitor. NOTE: Only use spaces in this file (no tabs), and do NOT specify the same IP/Port combination twice. The other variables are (these will be menu-accessible options in future releases): con_int: Connected Interval (milliseconds) If the port has been responding properly, this is the amount of time between checks. default: 60000 (1 minute) dis_int: Disconnected Interval (milliseconds) If the port failed the last check, this is the amount of time between checks. default: 10000 (10 seconds) notify: Nofificaton address User/Domain to notify using 'net send' --------------- IMPORTANT NOTE: --------------- Due to a command in Tcl that checks the status of the port connectivity, you should have name resolution local (hosts file) to ensure maximum efficiency of Port Monitor. If you do not, the program may appear to hang at certain times.
