monitoring

For debugging purposes in a somewhat closed system, I have to output text to a file. Does anyone know of a tool that runs on windows (console based or not) that detects changes to a file and outputs them in real-time? Tail for Win32 Apache Chainsaw - used this with log4net logs , may require file to be in a certain format I like tools that will perform more than one task, Notepad++ is a great notepad replacement and has a Document Monitor plugin (installs with standard msi) that works great. It also is portable so you can have it on a thumb drive for use anywhere. For a command line option,

I am developing an app in which I need to scans WiFi network and display the list of all connected devices. Allow a use to tap on a device and the app should show all the hardware info of that particular device. Here by hardware I mean - RAM, Storage Media, Storage Capacity, Device Name, Device IP address, etc. Now this device can be anything like xbox, a laptop with Linux/Windows, mobile phone like iPhone or any Andorid based smart phone or even a printer. How can I scans WiFi network and query/detect all the devices attached to it? What are the protocols that I need to use to get list of

When a change is made within a directory on a Windows system, I need a program to be notified immediately of the change. Is there some way of executing a program when a change occurs? I'm not a C/C++/.NET programmer, so if I could set up something so that the change could trigger a batch file then that would be ideal. Refracted Paladin Use a FileSystemWatcher like below to create a WatcherCreated Event(). I used this to create a Windows Service that watches a Network folder and then emails a specified group on arrival of new files. // Declare a new FILESYSTEMWATCHER protected FileSystemWatcher

I want to make some performance measures (mainly runtime) for my Java code, a single-threaded, local, complex algorithm. (So I do not want a macro-benchmark to measure a JVM implementation.) With the tool, I would like to analyse the complexity , i.e. see how my code scales for a parameter n (the search depth). (I already have a junit test parameterized in n.) do some trend analysis to get warned if some change to the code base makes the code slower. For this, I would like to use a tool or framework that does the statistics , optimally computing the mean value, standard deviation and
