Maxum Development Announces PageSentry Update July 23, 2002. Maxum Development is pleased to announce the release of a significant update to PageSentry, the popular Internet server early warning and failure recovery solution for Mac OS and OS X. "For PageSentry Version 4.1, we've focused on stability, performance, and enhancements to the key features that administrators rely on most heavily," said John O'Fallon, President of Maxum. Accordingly, the most notable updates to PageSentry include: * Bug Fixes - Problems that affected usability under Mac OS X and under Mac OS 7 and 8 have been addressed, the built-in Web server has been rewritten for more reliable and faster dynamic Web reporting, and numerous other customer-reported errors have been corrected. * Automated Routine Maintenance - Because PageSentry is designed to be run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, routine maintenance is essential. In PageSentry 4.1, much of this work can now be automated via a daily cleanup action. Sample scripts are included in the PageSentry package. * Historical Report Updates - PageSentry not only warns network administrators of current server problems, but maintains a history of server performance which can be reviewed in PageSentry or via dynamic Web reports. Histories are now tracked more efficiently and can be reset as needed by the administrator. * Remote Test Triggers - Server tests can now be triggered remotely, from any Web browser, allowing administrators to troubleshoot network problems quickly and easily, without having to be at the PageSentry test station. * Usability Enhancements - Other enhancements make PageSentry even easier to use. For example, under OS X, PageSentry will now create it's own system StartupItems folder and files, completely automating what had previously been the most difficult task in setting up a PageSentry monitoring station. A free trial version of PageSentry, which expires at the end of each month but is otherwise full-featured, is available for immediate download from the PageSentry Web site, linked below. PageSentry Version 4.1 is a free upgrade for all PageSentry 4.0 owners. For all others, a $69 upgrade is available ($99 for the Enterprise version). Complete details about upgrading can be found by clicking "Upgrades" on the PageSentry home page, at: http://www.maxum.com/PageSentry/ Founded in 1991, Maxum Development became the first company to ship commercial Internet products for the Macintosh when it released NetCloak and NetForms in 1994. Since that time, Maxum has continued to innovate with a series of unique, widely acclaimed Internet server products. __________________________ Please visit our sponsors: RadGad(sm): The Place for Useful Gifts & Gadgets.(sm) http://www.radgad.com/, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 877-5-RADGAD MacTech(r) Magazine: The journal of Macintosh technology and development http://www.mactech.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], or 805-494-9797 DevDepot(sm): Your Source for RAM, Technical & Developer Products http://www.devdepot.com, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 877-DEPOT-NOW To submit a posting to NetProLive, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
