CoolMon description
This application displays system information in a small configurable window.

CoolMon will display system information in a small configurable window. Most of the application`s data is retrieved from the Windows performance counters; these are the values it can currently display:

Here are some key features of "CoolMon":

· Processor usage (up to four CPU`s)
· Number of Processes
· Number of Threads
· Used/Free/Total page file
· Used/Free/Total RAM
· Free/Total Disk space (up to eight disks)
· Computer Uptime
· Date & Time
· Computer name
· User name
· All IP addresses
· Network read and write speed (up to four NICs)
· Total Bytes sent and received
· Battery status
· Motherboard Monitor temperatures and fan speeds


Special features :

- Client/Server mode: CoolMon can be configured as a server and a client so that remote machines can be monitored. Simultaneous local and remote monitoring is possible, as multiple instances of the application can be started. CoolMon can also act as a web server, making it`s data accessible though web services like SOAP/WDSL.
- Process Exclusion: For people that run SETI, RC5, Folding@Home, Genome@Home, the UD Cancer Project or any other Distributed Computing client, it is possible to exclude this process from the total amount. This makes the Processor usage counter valuable, as it is not at a constant 100%. It is also possible to exclude multiple processes.
- Other special features include: custom update interval, degree of alpha transparency, longest and average uptime display, flashing scroll lock light to indicate network activity.
