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

PM Patrol contains a suite of robust utility and OS/2 desktop functions:

   Robust monitoring of OS/2 processes and threads (Process Monitor window) with ability to monitor CPU utilization per process, memory used per process, process priorities, and "kill" ill-behaved programs.
   Process Meter features provides unattended operation and automatic collection of process statistics for identifying duration, CPU consumption, and instances over a range of time.
   Quick-access program launcher with priority control
   Quick-access program scheduler with priority control for timed events
   Network Monitor and I/O statistics for workstation
   Summary and detailed information of drives
   Summary and detailed information of OS/2 configuration and environment
   Changing the mouse and wait pointers in OS/2
   Fast Find files (pattern, size, last access, attributes, network drives)
   Fast Help for all OS/2 and Windows help information files on-line
   Fast access to WorkPlace Shell object classes
   Find duplicate files
   Drive utilization and analysis with graphical distribution
   Fast Format diskettes
   Print queue management
   Identify system levels for OS/2 component installed
   Minimize all visible windows (and restore all minimized windows)
   Security to protect PM Patrol settings and configuration for stand-alone and network use
   Suspending power for mobile computers (sleep mode)
   Suspending PM Patrol monitors
   Forced OS/2 shutdown
   Changing mouse and wait pointers for all display types
   Set system date and time
   Several command-line utilities such as Fast Find and Find Duplicate files, Print Spooler Management, and more
   API interfaces to retrieve real-time statistics from PM Patrol
