Something to get excited about - NEW process watchdog feature

Posted on 22:40 by Unknown
This is the new core engine feature I was speaking of. As you can see, it is quite powerful. It allows you to restart or terminate a process if it utilizes too many CPU cycles or memory for too long a period of time. This happens in live-locks and memory leaks, both of which are unfortunately common in the Windows application world.



I am going to be releasing this new beta v3.89.0 very soon now (within hours). It is an EARLY beta, so considerable polishing remains and there are incomplete features. It probably should actually be classified as an ALPHA release. For this reason, I did re-enable the extra beta/alpha warning, which you'll see at program startup (unless you've previously chosen to not show it again).

Note that more options will be added to this watchdog in the future. Also, as a side note, a heck of a lot more has changed in this beta. I am making rapid progress to v4. Expect to see continued rapid progress. This is one of those periods where the software evolves considerably in a short period of time. I then spend the majority of my time afterwards doing maintenance and polishing, which is equally important in the end.

I expect that power users and server administrators will find this new process watchdog most useful. Enjoy ;). Do leave a comment if you like this feature. I like to know I'm headed in the right direction.
