<description><![CDATA[Hi,

I don't have a LAN nor do I manage one. Consequently I don't have a server.
Also I'm not a webmaster and I don't have my own website or blog.
Perhaps this GOTD is of no use to me? Surely there is no reason for testing it, even on third party networks?

Can anyone explain the usefulness of this program to someone like me?
It surely can't tell me anything about the WAN-servers I'm connected to, i.e. my internet provider's servers? (One has to start somewhere if one wants to learn hacking ;-) - LOL.

Anyway, this tool may be a relief to some of "us". With all the video-, audio- and phototools that we have enjoyed pre (and post) Thanksgiving we can experiment for at least until New Year's Day ;-)

Greetz.
Pat.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Server Health Notifier


Several of you are so anxious to review the product of the day that you neglect to read the program's intended purpose before jumping in and commenting on what the program does and what the program fails to do.  Too often the intended purpose of the program is completely missed by the reviewing party.  The simple reviews that say "the program as everything it says it will do" are more accurate even if we leave out details.  The problem leading to writing sloppy reviews appears amateur reviewers rushing to be the first to review the program with little regard to accuracy.  Sometimes the review is so far off base that I am not so sure that the review is dealing with the same program that I am considering downloading from GOTD.

The developer describes today's offering as being a "server health notifier".  It seems that if the developer has any idea of what he is talking about that the program should report on the state of health of a targeted server.

How does the following statement by a reviewer "The Bad
* One dimensional – lacking in terms of having the ability to fix or prevent the errors/problems." 
address a single intended property of today's download?

And does this review do any better?  "Good:
1.check your computer easily
2.show basic computer evaluate items.

My review.  The program was downloaded, installed on a Windows XP Pro 32-bit system, aimed at a Windows 2003 server, the server was determined to be "healthy" when the e-mail sent to me by the program contained the report of the system resources used by the server showed the following to all be within expected limits:

Monitoring main system resources (CPU usage, Memory usage, Page file usage, etc).


I appreciate good reviews and I am willing to put confidence in what a reviewer details when I know that care was taken in reviewing the product. I know that the reviewers that I singled out today are capable of much better work.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@1 - Not fair to say "One dimensional – lacking in terms of having the ability to fix or prevent the errors/problems."

This is presented as a "monitor" or "notifier".  It's not supposed to be the function of the program to fix anything.  As a sysadmin, I would rather be notified than have some 3rd party software trying to fix one of my servers.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Seems to amount to little more than looking at the same variables for another computer that Windows Task Manager will show you for your own.  Probably handy to be able to check on other nodes in a private network, but I'd think anyone maintaining a server would have much better tools.]]></description>
