Restart Controller is a Macintosh utility to restart Macintosh computers
automatically controlling if the conditions indicated by the user to
restart are satisfied.
In this way the computer can run unattended and restart itself when the
prefixed conditions are satisfied.
There are 3 conditions the program can check:
1) Time interval. The computer shuts down only inside a specified time
interval.
2) Critical applications.The computer shuts down only if the applications
indicated by the user as critical are not running.
3)Internet connection.The computer can't restart if an internet connection
is up and running (the computer will restart if the internet connection
drops).
Combining these three conditions as the user prefers it is possible to
automatize the moment when the computer will restart itself unattended.
In this way a Mac server can be configured to run continuously with an
internet connection up.
If the Internet connection drops, the Mac will restart itself.
If the Mac is properly configured to restart the connection at startup, the
Mac will acquire the capability to restart and re-initialize all the
settings by itself in case something goes wrong and the connection drops.
When the user leaves the Mac, he can launch a series of tasks, backups,
network jobs, communication tasks or everything else.
He can also use a utility to launch tasks at night automatically as for
example our CronoTask.
When all the tasks are completed, if the specified time range is reached
the Mac will be immediately restarted by Restart Controller.
It is also possible to configure the Mac to restart at a prefixed time with
no other conditions, or at a prefixed time only if critical apps are not
running or also if a internet connection is down or both the conditions,
and so on..
This is the PPC version
