PM Patrol is robust, yet easy to use resource monitoring and management software for OS/2 version 2.1 and higher.

PM Patrol is designed to run all the time, from bootup to shutdown. Always visible and accessible, PM Patrol offers quick access to many different monitors and related utilities.

PM Patrol allows you to monitor and track several different resources of your OS/2 system. These resources are presented to you in a very unintrusive and meaningful display providing you insight into current system activities. The appearance of PM Patrol has maintained the attitude that this tool should be visible, yet not use valuable desktop space.

PM Patrol has a broad appeal. The information PM Patrol provides is valuable to a number of audiences including novices, heavy users, and software engineers and developers. Some PM Patrol monitors and utility items are geared more toward software developers, but the majority of PM Patrol is valuable to anyone. PM Patrol offers numerous and intuitive selections for monitoring OS/2 status and activities:

  • Display current Date/Time with optional synchronization to network server.
  • System up-time for workstation
  • Internet Connect-Time for workstation (requires IBM's Internet Access Kit).
  • Network user ID, Domain, server, and network I/O traffic for the workstation
  • Processes, threads, DLLs, drivers, and shared memory activity
  • Event monitoring and notification of critical OS/2 resources and thresholds.
  • CPU activity per Process and Thread in graphical view
  • Complete drive summary and detail information with graphical utilization
  • Local or remote print spooler jobs on a per queue basis
  • Disk Drives on-line (including network drives)
  • Free space for selected drives (up to 6 drives including network drives)
  • OS/2 swap activity
  • Identify system levels for OS/2 component installed
  • OS/2 free real and virtual memory activity
  • Active number of OS/2 processes and threads
  • CPU utilization (current vs. rolling average over last 1 minute)
  • Battery status for mobile computers
  • Graphical views of memory, CPU usage, and swapping
