Note: This software is really out of date and the problem it solved has long since vanished. It's here just for me :o)
A simple little java application that will monitor the progress of you UD Agent. It works by monitoring the time of the last successful save of the task file. Can be used to make that difficult decision about whether to switch your machine off for the night and discard useful CPU time. Particularly useful if you have hit a LRM (Long Running Molecule) and want to know how much time would be wasted.

When running the application will monitor the file once every 10 seconds. This can be changed in the file config.properties which can be found in the install directory (it is a simple plain text file and can be edited with any text editor). The value in the the install file is 10000 (10 seconds in milliseconds eg a value of 30000 would equate to 30 seconds).
When you start the monitor for the first time you have to point it in the direction of you UD Agent install directory this is usually "c:/program files/united devices/" (you may have installed it elsewhere). Simply go to options --> UD Tool and choose your install directory.
To Download :
Click on the 'Download The Code' button above to begin the download process. It should open a new window with instructions for downloading the software. If you do not already have one you will need a Java VM (Virtual Machine) that is of version 1.2.2 or above. The latest VM can be downloaded from Sun Microsystems (select the platform you require). The VM must be installed before the UD Tool.
Save the the file to a known place on your hard drive. From Explorer double click the udtool.exe to install UD Tool.
Although Java is a multiplatform language I have only distributed a Windows version of the install because the UD Agent only runs on Windows. If you would like a version for another platform (because you are running UD Agent with WINE under linux for instance) please write and tell me and I will produce one for you.
I have included a version of the software with a VM on the download page. Since I have limited web space this version may disappear in the future I will endeavour to include a link to it else where however.
