 Hi Folks.
I decided revisited PM Patrol because dozens visitors of my web site asked me about the yellow bar on my desktop (this screenshot illustrated my main-page during some days when I was moving to my new server). The bar is just the Status Bar of PM Patrol, one of the most important tools made for OS/2 since version 2.1. Currently I'm using it on Warp 3.0 and on Warp 4.0. PM Patrol can be used also united with Object Desktop Professional without any problem! I'm using this combination on Warp 4 FP6 and it gives me total control on this operating system. I'm PM Patrol registered user and encourage you to register it! (To register it click here>###)

PM Patrol Overview

PM Patrol is robust 32-bit resource management & control software for
OS/2 2.1+.  Provides in-depth yet simple viewing of many system settings,
configuration, and performance monitors including local & network Print
Queues, drives on-line, space available on selectable drives, swap
utilization, available real & virtual memory, battery life, graphical CPU
utilization, Process Status for per-process & thread details, Process
Metering, multimedia enabled resource alarms, and much more.  Full online
documentation.

Photo above shows PM Patrol popmenu with dozens of options for OS/2 control. Note that Object Desktop Professional Control Center shows 100% CPU usage because in this moment I was just starting StarOffice 5.1

Includes numerous integrated utilities; Scheduler, Program Launcher,
Fast Find, Fast Format, Drive/File map, C/C++ APIs for real-time interface.
Designed for all user types.  A must-have system tool for all OS/2 users.

The online help is virtually a complete manual for PM Patrol.  Lots of
detail about every facet of the product.  Right from the start when you
first run PM Patrol, you will be introduced to PM Patrol with some helpful
quick-hits to get you going.

PM Patrol is shareware and is freely distributable as long as no files
contained in the software are modified. Product Serial numbers provided
by WallyWare are not distributable.

Installation:

PM Patrol requires no device drivers and does NOT modify your CONFIG.SYS.
Nor does it copy files into your OS/2 system directories - only its own.

The installation process will copy the PM Patrol files to the directory
which you specify, and will create a OS/2 desktop folder for PM Patrol.
Optionally, you can tell the installation to also create a shadow copy
of PM Patrol for the OS/2 Startup folder so PM Patrol starts-up every time
you start OS/2.

Please be aware that an unregistered copy of PM Patrol, although fully
functional, has a run-time limit of 2 hours each time it's run.  Upon
registration, this limitation is lifted and "nag-screens" are removed.

To install PM Patrol:
  1. If installing from the PM Patrol distribution diskette, change to
     the diskette drive (ie. A:) and enter "INSTALL".  Or, select the
     "Install" icon on the OS/2 Drives folder for this drive.

     if installing from a downloaded ZIP file of PM Patrol, unzip the
     PM Patrol files into a temporary direrctory (ie. C:\TMP).  Change to
     that directory and enter "INSTALL".  Or, select the "Install" icon
     on the OS/2 Drives folder for the directory.

  2. Follow the simple instructions from the installation program. You
     will be asked for the destination directory to install PM Patrol files.
