On the beta page we have the first version of Servers Alive that includes a "remote client". This remote client (wsSARC) is currently nothing more then the TRAY ICON of Servers Alive that you can install on a (remote) system and see the status of Servers Alive. In the near future we will ofcourse extend the functionality of this remote client.
The communication between wsSARC and Servers Alive is done via an SSH-alike protocol, by default on port 43210. Within Servers Alive you have to define what PERSON is allowed to connect (the username/password is needed for wsSARC's authentication towards Servers Alive). Also within Servers Alive you will have to define what IPs (singel or ranges) are allowed/disallowed to connect. Currently the setup of wsSARC is part of the Servers Alive installation. Once we have more features in it we will also provide a separate installation file for wsSARC. wsSARC will allow you to run Servers Alive as service (without desktop interaction) and still have the icon when you login to that system as a user. This is a new step towards Windows 2008 compatibility! As always the beta can be found on http://beta.woodstone.nu and all feedback is ofcourse more then welcome! dirk (ps sorry for the resend, the mailing list did something weird with the initial message and some/most of you didn't even receive the 1st mail) To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to salive@woodstone.nu If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that they are not sent to the list nor to individual members. Doing so will cause you to be automatically removed from the list.
