WebCheck-2
macOS / Utilitaires
Version 2.10
Full Version, No Advertisements, no In-App Purchases
Ever wish you knew how long the Internet was down last night? WebCheck-2 pings several Web addresses commonly used by Internet Professionals to watch for dropouts in your connectivity. Interruptions caused by your ISP, your local telephone or cable line, your router or hub, your wireless connection or even the WiFi on your computer are detected and can be recorded in a log file. You can supply WebCheck-2 with up to six URLs of your own choice to be pinged along with those built-in to the App. Additionally, any of these URLs can be “disabled” (not included in the list of pinged URLs) or “enabled” as you deem fit.
USER NOTE: Be aware that a poorly typed alphanumeric URL such as “Asherdftffdf” may in fact result in a successful ping. This all depends on the ability of the Web’s Domain Name System (DNS) servers to produce an Internet Protocol (IP) address (URL) that corresponds to this string of characters.
Also note that there are some servers that do not support the Ping Packets and will therefore not respond to WebCheck-2.
Here’s a brief list of WebCheck-2’s features.
Automatically does nearly continuous checks of your Internet connection status
Can record pertinent information into a log file, complete with time and date stamps.
The log file can be printed to a connected printer
WebCheck-2’s functionality is available on two screens.
The Main Screen:
Web Availability is indicated by a Green Light
Log file generation can be started or stopped
The total connection up time and connection down time for the most recent logging session are displayed.
A simulated oscilloscope screen shows a nice animation of an outgoing pulse whenever a ping has started and an animated “echo” image when the ping is successful.
Sounds corresponding to the beginning of a ping, the end of a ping, Web Up, Web Down and button clicks are provided.
The Back or “Flip” Screen:
Web Availability is indicated by a Green Light
Log file generation can be started or stopped
The log file can be viewed at any time.
The log file can be printed to a connected printer if desired.
During logging, events such as gaps in connectivity, ping failures, starting and stopping monitoring, exiting and restarting WebCheck-2 while monitoring are recorded in the log file, along with time and date stamps.
The log file can be cleared out at any time.
All sounds can be individually muted or un-muted
The built-in URLs can be removed from the pinging list as desired.
Up to six user URLs can be added to the list of those pinged.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
A “No URLs” message, along with an amber light, is shown on the main screen and back screen in the case where you disable all of the built-in URLs and the user selectable URLs. A similar message is also added to the Log File in this case if monitoring is active.
A bug was corrected whereby certain log file messages were inappropriately added to the log file when all URLs were disabled.
