Have you ever felt uncertain of the status of your applications? Resuscitator for NT guarantees that your services are available 24 hours a day. The program watch feature restarts any application in 5 seconds. You can restart your computer over the Internet using the Remote Client program. In fact you can interactively restart any controlled application from your desktop with this feature!

 

The built in Program Scheduler runs e.g. automatically scheduled backup every morning at five or restarts your NT servers every week. Thus increasing the system availability to levels you did not believe possible.

 

Managing startup and shutdown sequences can be tricky on NT-computers - Resuscitator for NT does this for you strict and controlled. By inspecting the built-in event-log with detailed information, Resuscitator for NT helps you understand what is happening on your servers/computers.

If working in a multiple screen setup, Resuscitator for NT can keep an application in a fixed position on screen thus improving the overview. This is just a few examples of the Resuscitator for NT flexibility. Because Resuscitator is a configurable tool - it can do anything you tell it to do!

Telnet

Resuscitator even has a telnet based remote interface. For secure Resuscitator operation a user is required to log in. User authentication is done using NT Security.

As shell replacement

On a standalone computer it is very handy to use Resuscitator for NT as a Shell or Startup Group replacement. This means that all entries in the Startup Group are defined as applications in Resuscitator and replaced by one shortcut to Resuscitator for NT.

The Resuscitator in the startup group will normally use the following commandline options :

 

resuscitator shutdown.ini -hide

 

With this command line all applications defined in the ini-file will be started and resuscitator will hide itself. It is normal to configure the following programs:

  • Shutdown - enabling remote shutdown of the server

  • Server Control Panel - FindResuscitator used as a local server control panel

With the AutoLogon feature it is possible to extend Resuscitator not only to be a Startup Replacement but to be a Shell replacement. This means that Resuscitator is replacing the explorer shell and limiting the normal user's access to the explorer functions.
