Keep-It-Up tracks application status for consistent operation.
KIU-X offers a wide range of features to keep your server applications running smoothly. In the event of a crash, the software allows you to relaunch selected applications promptly. Moreover, KIU-X detects hanging applications and kills and restarts them. It also offers regular scheduled restarts to reduce the possibility of a malfunction. KIU-X even permits you to keep one server application consistently open and in front, which aids in improving its performance.
The software also features a comprehensive web browser tool for remotely managing your Macintosh server. An embedded web server on a port of your choice facilitates the management of the server from multiple compatible devices with web browsers installed. Remote server management is practical as it allows you to view running applications, launch applications, run AppleScripts, view log files generated by KIU or other applications, and provides essential information about the system, such as free disk space and uptime.
KIU-X makes network service monitoring easy. It can notify you through email, relaunch the necessary applications, or restart Mac in the event of a failure. This feature is highly valuable in monitoring web server, FTP server or application server (e.g. FileMaker Pro), and ensuring they function correctly.
The software can trigger notifications via email in case of free memory or disk space falling below preset levels, an application gets relaunched, KIU restarts the Mac, or someone uses invalid login credentials to access the KIU web server. Moreover, KIU-X facilitates automatic mounting of AppleShare volumes at startup and periodically checks for disconnections. It also allows sending an email alert whenever a mounted volume is remounted or fails to mount when the AppleShare server is unavailable.
The virtual memory statistic feature of KIU-X helps identify if additional RAM is essential for optimal performance. KIU-X continually collects and processes virtual memory statistics that you can view on its web interface.
Overall, the Keep-It-Up-X (KIU-X) software offers a practical and efficient suite of tools to manage and monitor your Macintosh server easily. It's worth trying, and it's sure to be valuable to anyone seeking server software solutions.
