- WHAT IS PC-Sentry?
-
- PC-Sentry is a collection of programs and utilities to provide security and
- accountability on PC's and PC networks. The heart of the system is PCS.EXE,
- a TSR (memory resident) program that maintains daily log files of file based
- computer activity. It will log all files opened, deleted, created, copied,
- directories created and deleted, time changes, commands issued from the
- DOS prompt, and much more. In addition, it will keep a record of average
- keystrokes per minute and periods of keyboard inactivity. Most logging
- functions can be toggled on or off at load time to allow the user to customize
- the logging capabilities of the program. PCS.EXE can also be loaded in a
- "Quiet" mode so the user will never be aware it is running.
-
- PC-Sentry is also available in a network version. It operates much the same
- as the single user version except that it will maintain its log files on
- a specified network drive. It will also automatically detect whether or
- not the user is logged into the network, and maintain its log files on the
- local drive when the network connection is broken, and automatically switch
- back to the network drive when the connection is re-established.
-
- PCS.EXE is compatible with Novell, LANtastic, Banyons Vines, and most all
- other networks. It is also compatible with Microsoft WINDOWS running in
- any mode.
-
-
- HOW DO I MANAGE THE LOG FILES?
-
- PCSLOG.EXE is a companion program that allows for complete log file viewing
- and maintenance. PCSLOG is a full featured program that is mouse aware
- and allows viewing of multiple log files in movable, resizeable windows.
- Maintenance options include deleting, archiving, restoring from archive,
- moving, and printing log files. The archive option uses file compression
- tecniques licensed from PKWARE, the undisputed leader in the compression
- field.
-
- The network version has options especially for network managers to allow
- log file maintenance for all users from a workstation or server.
-
- You can even keep logs of server activity, whether it's a dedicated server,
- or installed as a peer to peer server.
-
- The network manager can view multiple users log files at the same time. The
- number of log files that can be viewed is limited only by available memory.
- When the log file is viewed, all log entries can be seen up to the fraction
- of a second before the log file is actually loaded. Logging goes right on
- in the background, even if the file is being viewed or printed.
-
