I happen to appreciate this one, I have a WHS that during heavy tcp traffic was simply dropping it’s network connection.
Forcing a reboot to get it going again.
This is a bit hard to do remotely unless you want to spend good money on a switch master or some other power managment hardware.
This app simply monitors connectivity to my router and should it fail restart my WHS.
Simple but effective, and saves me a drive or a very frustrating long wait to get to my files.

Hi Eva Aziz,
I reviewed this product for those enthusiasts that want to monitor the event logs. The re-boot feature is an added feature to the software.

You got to be joking! If you experience a critical system failure, such as a WHS hard drive failure, nobody is going to be able to reboot, period.

And if your only thinking a critical system failure isn’t hardware related, but is just the WHS software, who thinks all it takes is just a reboot to fix it?

You may as well just host a network client, meaning booting the hardware up on a remote network so Microsoft can insure additional service charges, while extending Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy measures.

Then every end user only needs to supply the hardware, using their biometrics to login with a two-factor authentication credit card! Now that’s what I would call a “WOW” experience…
