Do you run a web/file/database server or any other kind of Macintosh server ? Do you use a remote access package (Timbuktu, ARA, ...) or do you use your Mac for receiving faxes ? Do you depend on your Mac being up and running all the time ? Unfortunately, Macintosh software is not always as reliable as we'd like it to be. Crashes and system freezes can frustrate you at best or make you lose a lot of business at worst.

Have a look at AutoBoot. AutoBoot is a Control Panel that restarts your Macintosh when it crashes or freezes, ensuring that your server is always up and running. Many AutoBoot users can testify: AutoBoot is a real lifesaver. No Mac server should be without it !

AutoBoot 1.6.5 is compatible with all versions of the MacOS and the Classic Environment of Mac OS X.

Mac OS X is designed to be a very robust and stable OS so it should rarely crash or lock up entirely. Therefore there's little need for a 'native' version of AutoBoot for OS X.

However, the Classic environment can still crash or freeze. To make matters worse, it is not obvious for the average user to know if the Classic environment has crashed.

To solve this problem, simply install AutoBoot in OS 9.x, and it will also load in the Classic environment. If the Classic environment crashes or locks up, AutoBoot will restart it (but OS X keeps running).

What's New:
Fixes a conflict between AutoBoot and MacOS File Sharing
Major documentation changes.
