Developer’s Description

By Quantum Concepts

Monitor the availability of any number of Web sites.

Your clients need their Web sites and services to be up. However, occasionally things happen and somewhere along the complex communication path--something will get snagged. You need to know about these snags quickly and before your clients bring it to your attention.WWWQuickCheck is a small Windows Service which can be configured to monitor any number of Web sites. This application is very simple and is configured via an XML configuration file. You can set the interval at which you'd like WWWQuickCheck to check the status of each Website--at that time, a specific phrase or regular expression will be validated against the response from the configured URI. If a match is not successful, an e-mail is sent to the e-mail address(es) for that URI (each URI can have one or more e-mail addresses attached to it).WWWQuickCheck is a free, easy to install, easy to configure tool. Set it up once and cross your fingers that you don't get any failure e-mails.

Nice idea, but...

Pros
Great idea... if it worked.
Cons
Very difficult to install in Vista. Successful install is like pulling teeth. After good install, Uninstall button causes program to crash. Service cannot Start. No errors logged, no info provided, no emails sent, no way to test. Big waste of time.
Summary
The .NET install link is to client side only, but full install is required to load the needed .NET 4 extensions. After install, program throws unhandled exceptions and no additional info is given. Turns out exceptions are because of Vista access restrictions. Finally had to install as administrator in Administrator's folder to get the program to run without exceptions. Then it just didn't work right and gave no reasons or info as to why so it's impossible to find the cause. Tried to use the Uninstall button to remove the service, but the program always crashes. Using the Start button fails to start the service. There are no events logged in the Windows logs, and the program does not keep its own logs so there is no way to identify the problem. One thing is for sure, the program seems to do absolutely no site monitoring in Vista. Too bad, so sad.
