Details
NWBuddy is a lightweight and simple windows-based helper application that runs in your system tray and alerts you to fault conditions on your NetWare servers. NWBuddy requires that the NetWare Remote Management Portal be installed, configured and operational on the servers you wish to monitor. NWBuddy queries the Server Health Status page within the Remote Management Portal and alerts you to a fault condition with any of the monitored parameters.
NetWare Remote Manager has the capability to send email alerts when fault conditions arise, but NWBuddy doesn't rely on the availability of email systems, an email client, or the configuration required on the server end for this email alerting to work. From your PC, NWBuddy talks directly to the servers you wish to monitor, on a schedule you define and provides you an alert via audible and visual prompts.

- Could be usefull, if it starts!!! Cannot find server list file, even if ini-file is modified. Reply from P&H Developments: We're sorry to hear you had trouble getting NWBuddy to work. We have not had any direct reports of this issue to our support team. We are more than happy to help troubleshoot issues with the installation /configuration /operation of our software through our email support channel. If after contacting our tech support it transpires that there is a bug in our software, we are quite happy to have comments like this posted, but we do appreciate the opportunity to help resolve the issue first as often (but not always) it is some quirk in the configuration /environment that can be resolved, not a bug.
- Handy little tool, worked fine for me.
