A Keyhole Watcher is a simple utility that will help network/system
administrator monitor network server liveness. A Keyhole Watcher maintains a
list of servers (defined with their IP address and port number) and checks
each of them every N seconds by connecting/disconnecting the socket.

When server state changes (i.e. server goes down or wakes up), A Keyhole Watcher
writes event description to the LOG-file (a text file in the application home
directory) and optionally notifies administrator about event occured. The notification
mechanism is compatible with Windows NT Messenger service and Windows95 WinPopup
application so you do not need to have any special software to receive these
notifications. In version 1.1, notifications also can be sent by e-mail.

To run A Keyhole Watcher you need several DLLs (MFC 4.2d) that must exist on
your computer. If you do not have them (and then when trying to run the
application Windows will report you that it is unable to find application or
it's parts) - you can download it from the program's homepage (approx. 500KB
zip-file).

A Keyhole Watcher will never be written without help from professionals of MIS
department of Flagship Telesystems (www.flagship.ru) - Vladimir Petrov
(VPetrov@flagship.ru) and Dmitry Petelin (DPetelin@flagship.ru). I guess that
they have had some special reasons to make me write this utility ;=), but
anyway I want to pay credits to them for their help.

Thank you for your interest in A Keyhole Watcher
