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.
