CheckUp 2.5b3

CheckUp 2.5b3 represents a useful tool for Mac OS users! CheckUp is first designed to monitor the usage of CPU, Memory, Disk Drives and Network Adapters. You can display detailed information about all running processes and pause or terminate these at any time. By adding rules that will be triggered when certain conditions are met for a specified resource on the computer, you can receive visual notifications. For example, CheckUp can alert you when a certain resource exceeds a certain value or when a hard drive seems to have hardware failures, even when the application is not opened (thanks to an innovative background process and the use of the S.M.A.R.T technology).

One of the most innovative feature of CheckUp is the ability to monitor a Mac on a network or via internet. It's a powerful feature for IT administrators interested to check a remote computer or a remote server.

Major Features:

1. Testing Memory and Disks
   • CheckUp allows you to check your memory to detect bad components. Defective RAM are often responsable for the instability of your system. CheckUp also uses S.M.A.R.T. technology, which is a monitoring system for computer hard drives. In the hopes of anticipating failures, CheckUp detects and reports various indicators of reliability.
2. Monitoring System Capabilities
   • CheckUp allows you to discover your computer's capabilities in a very visual way. It also helps you to learn about supported operating systems. You can check if your Mac is able to run Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, etc.
   • You can find out how many Applications, Fonts, Drivers or Extensions are installed on your computer, as well as lots of other useful information.
3. Monitoring Processors
   • System load shows you your processor usage in percents, as well as the total number of running processes and threads and the available memory. It helps you understand how to improve the performance of your computer.
4. Monitoring Used Bandwidth
   • Some causes of high network activity are linked to peer to peer connections, file copying or large print jobs.
   • Use CheckUp to create a log and calculate the network utilization. CheckUp can display the bandwidth data in a real-time graph. It records all network traffic and the total amount of data transfered on your network.
5. Monitoring Processes
   • The processes manager helps you get to know all about running programs and managing them. You can terminate a process or temporarily stop it. This tool can give you additional information about selected process: memory used, processor power used, etc.
6. Multiple screens support
   • If you have two or more screens, you can decide on which screen to display the information.
7. Advanced Remote Monitoring
   • With CheckUp, you can monitor CPU, memory, disks and the processes of one or more remote computers through a simple TCP/IP network connection. This can be helpful if you want to monitor the activity of your servers.
8. Universal Binary
   • This product is compiled as a universal binary. Coinciding with apple's release of Intel-based computer systems, this will allow product to run on any Macintosh, containing either a PowerPC chip or an Intel chip, without any speed slowdown, or program emulation.
9. Modern Code
   • Built from the ground up in Cocoa and Objective C, this product supports numerous Mac OS X technologies that include: animation, sheets and help tips.

Requirements:

• Built for Mac Os X 10.5 Leopard.
