WatchCat is a program to recover OS/2 from
some kind of hang by killing applications.
WatchCat
is useful to any OS/2 user in the
following situations:
The Presentation Manager (PM) is blocked.
Due to the single message queue of OS/2
a single ill-behaved PM program might block all
PM programs in the system and prevent any
program from getting user input. Therefore it is
impossible to end the corrupt task or to
save data in other programs. You can press
Ctrl-ESC but this does not help in all
situations. Due to the Full-Screen nature of WatchCat
those ill-behaved programs can be killed from within
WatchCat.
WatchCat is also interesting to programmers in
the following situations:
Display all PStat-info about modules,
processes, threads, etc. WatchCat periodically updates all this
information. It is quick and easy to use
without any PM overhead, by using the CuTe
technology.
Display all WatchCat information on a terminal and
control WatchCat even if OS/2 crashed. Open a
(windowed) remote shell on the hanging PC. (registered
version only).
Kill threads or change the priority of
threads dynamically. (1st Aid Package only).
Disable Ctrl-Alt-Del or
use Ctrl-Alt-Del to activate WatchCat (registered version only).
WatchCat needs a very small amount of CPU-time.
You don't see it and you won't notice
it. But it is there if you need
it.
Quantity discounts are available.
