YET ANOTHER PROCESS MONITOR - DOWNLOAD OF WEEK

Saturday, August 15, 2009
All Windows versions since 3.0 have included a Task Manager utility to view running processes and (at least on the later versions) monitor a computer’s performance. Easily evoked by the Ctrl + Alt + Del keyboard combination, surely we’ve all found it to be a godsend on occasions when we need to kill a stuck application or resource hog process. But sometimes you just need more information and finer controls to make an accurate assessment on whether a process should be running or not and optimize memory use.




Yet Another Process Monitor (YAPM) is a free and yet powerful application designed to view and manage your running tasks, processes, threads, modules, windows, handles, services and even monitor remote machines on your network. YAPM also provides real-time graphs of processor, memory, and disk activity and can save a complete history of all statistics. There’s an option to right-click a process and search the internet for information, and for the more tech-savvy a built-in hex editor to view the memory regions used by processes.

The program is open source and requires no installation – although you do need to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. One unfortunate drawback, however, is that for now
YAPM is 32-bit compatible only so if you’ve already made the switch to 64-bit I recommend using the likewise impressive Process Explorer by SysInternals.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • NET Framework 2.0 .
  • Operating system : Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Seven (32 bits only).
  • Administrator rights, if you want to access to system processes and some other informations.
  • For remote monitoring, WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) must be installed and available on both machines if you use WMI method, or the YAPM Server application must be started on the remote machine if you use the client-server method.
WHAT'S NEW? *General changes & internal
  1. - High general optimisations (reduced CPU usage by ~70%)
  2. - General code refactoring (merge pieces of code, so there is no more VB.Net dlls)
  3. - Works well with UAC and limited rights under Vista and above
  4. - Modules and memory areas are enumerated much faster
  5. - Better semaphore protection for multi-threading
  6. - "Pending task" feature works well (but not completely avaialble for remote monitoring)
* GUI changes
  1. - No more "toolstrips menu" : replaced by normal menus
  2. - Colors of main form are better under Windows XP

  10. - added internet search and file details in dependency viewer
  11. - menus are disabled when nothing is selected or when the action has no sense
