Is your website down again? This widget simply tests all your sites to see if they are up and running or down in a heap of dead bytes. This widget runs on your desktop regardless of whehter it is MAC Os/X or Windows XP/Vista/ Windows 7 & 8+.
It also works with all websites and not just Joomla/Virtuemart CMS web sites. Simply add the URL of any site to the list and it will do the work for you.
It provides a simple running list of all the sites you specify. A simple interface allows you to add or delete sites as you require. Each site is checked by both an http request and a ping. If a site fails then it is flagged as being in error by both visual and audible means.
Site tests are grouped into 'jobs', the running interval of jobs can be modified as can the pause between each individual site test, to allow for slow network connections.
Tests can be initiated manually and the alarm sounds muted by a simple yet elegant interface. This version of the multi-site status tool has a slightly steampunk design though this could be easily changed on request.
This widget is designed to cater for multiple sites - version 5.0 will handle a site list of up to 30 sites. The new version also has these extra improved capabilities:
1. save the site list list to a file
2. open site lists as required.
