What's New in Version 4.0

1) Development migrated to .NET 1.1 forward compatible with 1.1 and greater.

2) MulitProcessor support.

3) Each Monitoring Queue is multi-threaded.  Each Queue runs with its own parameters and schedule independent of other Queues.

 

Requirements:

 

System running this software needs to have the .net framework installed.  Visit http://www.microsoft.com and install the .net framework 1.1

http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1redist/

 

You can check your system by looking in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET.  The subfolder name is the version of the framework your running.

 

Notes on executing external programs:

1)The program has to terminate itself or it will run in memory until the server reboots. This is because the executed program is waiting for a user response.

2)Directory Watch launches exeternal programs in its own independent process.  Directory Watch does not wait until the launched program terminates.

3)Use 8.3 filename with some Windows 2000 machines if your having challenges executing a program. Example(c:\progra~1\dirwatch\restart.bat)

 

Installation:

Run setup.exe

 

Introduction:

Run DirectoryWatchConsole.exe to configure the Service. Then start the service via Control Panel.  By default all Queues are turned off.  You can reconfigure a queue without restarting the Windows Service.

 

Limitations:

1 month demo
