Stalker Monitoring applications are clever, small utilities designed for System Administrators, Software Vendors or Developers to monitor applications and services in near real time. For enterprise level monitoring see MonitorThis.
Stalker Go is a program launcher designed to provide easy one click launching of monitoring scripts and applications. It can be used to easily launch a collection of Stalker monitoring applications, scripts and commands in one go. This can be run manually to confirm applications start correctly or scheduled using windows task scheduler to launch a selection of applications at the required time(s).
Stalker Go doesn't just work with Stalker monitoring applications but can be used for a wide range of functions such as starting a selection of programs when logging onto your computer.
Stalker Go can import and export batch files and is designed to complement all related Stalker applications by providing specific configuration parameters with easy selection and editing and even a configuration option to allow you to configure Stalker programs without needing to change configuration file settings.
Stalker Go assists in ensuring that command line parameters are correct by validating and handling these exactly like windows.
Stalker Go is easy to use with all features displayed in one interface with a simple right click menu for additional options.
