in reply to perlmonks reccomended win32 programs

Pretty much anything from (formerly) Mark Russinovich' SysInternals.

Especially useful are ProcessExplorer, TCP View, Page Defrag, Handle, Contig, Autoruns.

It (the website) and they (the tools) were very recently bought by MS. They have already messed cosmetically with previously simple, and easy to use website to the point that if you visit there using Opera configured to say it is Opera, nothing works. Have it tell them it is Mozilla and things function (for now).

So far, they do not appear to have f***** with the tools in any substantial way, but you can pretty much guarentee that it won't be long before they all change from being small, 3-files in a zip downloads to huge, complicated, spread stuff all over your disk without giving you a choice MSIs. No doubt with dependancies upon 2 or 3 hundred meg of MS "relocatables" that you have no idea what they are and will never use but can't live without.

So, get'em now while the getting is good, 'cause the marketeers are gonna f***'em up RealSoonNow.

    (This works well with FlashGot/FlashGet, BTW. ;-) )


    Update: To all those wondering why I listed the individual utilities and not the Suite, it's because I also noticed the following caveat:

    "The Sysinternals Troubleshooting Utilities have been rolled up into a single Suite of tools. This file contains the individual troubleshooting tools and help files. It does not contain non-troubleshooting tools like the BSOD Screen Saver or NotMyFault."
    (emphasis mine)

    HTH,

    planetscape
      From the new sysinternals site:

      Sysinternals Live is a service that enables you to execute Sysinternals tools directly from the Web without hunting for and manually downloading them. Simply enter a tool's Sysinternals Live path into Windows Explorer or a command prompt as http://live.sysinternals.com/<toolname> or \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\<toolname>.

      You can view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com.


      Two years too late, but I would recommend Windows_Services_for_UNIX, but I wouldn't use the bundled Perl from there, instead add pkgsrc-interix or debian interix Perl.

    First available download is a .zip file with all of the tools in it. Marketing is still babbling in the front room I guess...
