Product & Updates |
BootStuff is a small application developed by P Squared to
manage the launching of P Squared products in a more
intelligent way. It does this by allowing you to specify
which products should start when the computer is rebooted
and also to attach certain conditions to the start-up
procedure.
Although there are many potential applications, the two
principle scenarios where BootStuff is really useful are:
- Waiting For A Server To Boot Up – In this scenario, you
can use BootStuff to only start the P Squared application once
the server that the application is relying on has finished
booting up. For example; in a typical Myriad installation,
the Myriad workstations will be configured to use the audio
and database stored on a central server or file location. In
the event of a full network wide reboot (say after a power
cut), the playout workstations will boot up much quicker
than the server, and the result will be an error message on
screen in Myriad saying that the network locations are not
available. By using BootStuff you can set Myriad to start only
after the specified server has completed booting up avoiding
these problems.
- Using A Backup Server If The Primary Fails To Restart –
Some installations include a primary and a backup server to
provide an alternative location for P Squared applications
to get their data from should the primary server fail. In
this type of scenario, BootStuff can be used to test both a
primary and a backup source and should the primary source
not be available after a configurable time period, BootStuff
will take alternative action such as load an alternative
copy of Myriad using the backup server profile.
Important! This
product is available as a free download, however
Support is only available if you have a current Support
Contract for another P Squared Product (i.e. Myriad,
Powerlog, Scoop etc.). You are free to use this software in
whatever way you see fit, however we accept no
responsibility for anything silly you do with it.
