Anyone know of a good system monitor that will test every hour and print a short synopsis of the test to a dot matrix printer in use of a continuous paper feed.

I am interested in things like processor use, use of memory, number of processes running, names of running processes, lan activity, user logged in, etc.

This is for a security system that has been crashing and I want to keep an eye on it.

Thanks!

Don't know of anything that will do what you ask, but I'd be surprised if it will reveal anything that's not in the Event Viewer logs - any strange messages there? What OS is it?

Conky works well for Linux boxes.
System Monitor 1.5 for Windows boxes.

Wow, forgot about this post!

notheruser, It crashes with a KeyPro registry error, from cycling the drivers from the card every 23 hours.

Once it reboots or when i finally have to re-install the OS, it doesn't have event logs remaining. It is a troubling system that <b> should </b> be upgraded to a DVR, but customer doesn't have it in budget.

Topher, sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) makes a bunch of nice (and free) diagnostic programs. None of these will print or notify you that I know of, but they can still be extremely useful in trouble-shooting your problem. I would look at Process Explorer& Process Monitor first. By the way, it looks like Microsoft has taken over sysinternals, though the URL above still works.

Okay, thanks for the input Steve, I appreciate it! I will check them out.
