ATM - Another Task Manager

http://
anothertaskmanager.cjb.
net/

19 September 2003 8:53:47am

Screen shot looks very impressive but Windows 9x only (working on adding NT/2k/XP compatability).

Features:

Real-time capability to monitor all processes and threads, their CPU usage, execution time, etc.
It allows you to completely manage the system priority of all running processes and threads. You can even set a DPC (Dynamic Priority Controller) which can switch between two defined priorities specifying a time-slice for both.
It allows you to know which are the system handles opened by all processes.
Ability to specify a default priority for a process so ATM will make sure all process instances will have the chosen priority.
Ability to define "actions"; ATM will execute when your defined conditions will take place. It is a really powerful, flexible and easily-configurable function that allows you to define complex tasks to be automatically executed.
Ability to spy and control all system windows.
System Information: ATM collects some informations about yuor system (physical and virtual memory utilization, wide CPU technical informations, Operating System version).
CPU cooler: ATM offers even two different types of CPU cooling function, both based on the x86 HLT instruction which is called only when the system is idle, so it doesn't affects other tasks. Naturally, you can uncheck it whenever you want.

Bugtoaster - Do Something
about Computer Crashes

http://www.bugtoaster.
com/

11 June 2001 6:08:57pm

Bugtoaster is a free (I think) desktop front-end for an Internet-based service that helps you straighten out problems with your computer. Bugtoaster runs from your system tray, waiting until something goes wrong. When your operating system or an application crashes, Bugtoaster catches the details and forwards the information to the online Bugtoaster database. The crashes are then correlated and forwarded to the appropriate software vendors. You can check the databases for details or fixes, and choose to receive e-mail reports about all crashes or just the ones you've reported.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Hopefully like me you are dismayed at the extrememely poor quality of Microsoft's products and in fact Windows products in general. This sort of tool has the potential to force these vendors to care about their bugs, that is fix them!

The online bug database should also be useful in developing work arounds to problems you might be experiencing.

Want a small command line utility to view, kill, suspend or set the priority and affinity of processes, perhaps from a batch file? . . Has a virus disabled your Task Manager? . . or perhaps your Administrator has?

Developer Playground

22 November 2006 11:02:23am

Developer Playground started out as an idea for an application to trace any program's runtime behavior. Jonas had previously built "ComTrace", but felt it was time to conquer non-COM apps as well. So, we started thinking, and this is what we came up with.

A developer's playground, with the following functionality:

Shows run-time DLL dependencies for running processes
Hooks any process, and tracing single calls to external DLLs
Integrates with favorite tools such as Google, OleView, Depends and the Explorer
Saves trace output to text file
Comes with semi-integrated HTML help (not that it's necessary)

PrcView - Process Viewer for
Windows NT and 95-98

PrcView is a free process viewer utility that displays detailed information about processes running under Windows. For each process it displays memory, threads and module usage. For each DLL it shows full path and version information. PrcView comes with a command line version that allows you to write scripts to check if a process is running, kill it, etc.

The command line version (PV.EXE) can kill processes by name or wildcard!

Excellent Process Explorer. I use it as a task manager replacement. If you wanted something a bit simpler the "prcview" is a good choice.

Running PsSuspend with a process ID directs it to suspend or resume the process of that ID on the local computer. If you specify a process name PsSuspend will suspend or resume all processes that have that name.

Runs a process and waits for it to complete or optionally launches the process and exits. A report may be printed with the process times and other information. The process may be given a delayed start, a number of repetitions to recur, and a timeout. The process may be safely killed if it runs beyond a specified duration. A console process may be given its own window and the window parameters may be specified. The process' base priority may be specified. The process can be logged on to a specified user account. An extended length command line may be handed to the process and the standard streams may be redirected internally.

Thread Master

ThreadMaster is a background service implementing a CPU Quota mechanism on top of the standard thread scheduling algorithms of the Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating Systems.

ThreadMaster monitors all running applications, and detects when a application starts to use excessive processor resources. It dynamically hunt down the offending thread, and clamp the CPU for this thread. This feature ensures that other users can remain working without noticing anything. The clamped process will eventually finish, and the clamp will be removed automatically.

About these Bookmarks

These bookmarks are of subjects or products I find useful (or think I may in the future). I never link to a site as a pre-condition for them linking to me! As I use Windows I am mainly interested in software for this operating system. Where good free software exists I generally only list the free software (I list some shareware and even some commercial software where it is exceptional).

If you have some completely free software (no adware and without timeouts or major restrictions) which you would like listed then please email me:

The URL (direct to resource's page) - not to the download.
A proposed category (existing one if possible)
A short description

To bypass my SPAM filter the subject should begin "SUGGESTED LINK:".

Creating These Book Mark Pages

This page was automatically created from Windows internet shortcuts (or favorites) created with IE or Netscape (OS/2 WPS URLs can also be imported). You can comment any link or category and just about anything can be changed (links don't even need to be in tables). PPWIZARD, a free tool for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix or OS/2 built these pages using this source code .

All URLs are checked periodically using the my free URL validation tool (for Windows and OS/2). This ensures that very few if any links point to moved pages or return 404 errors etc.
