+++ Team Anandtech DF Utilities Release +++

[m0ti]

Hi Everybody,

Took the few hours necessary today to port the utilities to Win32 code. Sorry for the inconviences that people may have had. The good news is that they work quite nicely!

dfDetect
dfKeepAlive

Check out the readme's for how to use 'em. dfDetect is only for DF installed as a service. dfKeepAlive works for both (great for non-NT/2000/XP machines). An exe is also provided for running in hidden mode. They should exit out cleanly on shutdown.

You can install 'em wherever you like.

Have fun with 'em! 😎

Glad to see you like them! 🙂

BTW, you can also use dfDetect to keep DF running (it won't start it if a designated prog is running).

Thanks m0ti! 😀 I will have to play with them when I'm back at work. 🙂

Nicely done m0ti!

Thanks!

hmm, I could also make dfDetect work for those not installed as a service. I'll rewrite dfRestart too from it's batch file format to an .exe like the others. It could also support the non-service client.

you are the best m0ti!

there are a few situations where those changes could come in handy 🙂

df can be installed as up to 2 services if I'm not mistaken. Have to take care of that, too.
