New monitor tool (2.0.0.0) to reboot router automatically

I've put together this little app that monitors connection to a couple of web sites and if the connection is lost, it reboots the router and then waits for the connection to come back up again. You can also use it to start and stop telnet and a few other things. The readme explains it more, so I won't iterate it here.

Few things:
  1. It is only written for the Sky (Netgear DG834GT) router running Sky's firmware.
  2. Sorry, no native MAC / Unix versions - ever. In fact, you'll need the .Net framework 2.0 to run this, so no "olde worlde" MS operating systems either. Note that I have been informed that when Mono Main Page - Mono supports .Net Framework 2.0, it might be possible to get this app to run in Linux. However, please don't ask me about the details of this as I'm no Linux guru and know nothing of Mono other than how to spell it. One other option is to run a virtual machine inside Linux using something like VMWare Server. As for a Mac, again, we're talking PC emulation (of which I know nothing) or a virtual machine.
  3. PLEASE read the help file - especially the troubleshooting section - before posting questions or PMs.
  4. PM (not direct email as my spam filter will eat it!) me with any comments / thoughts / suggestions. The readme has a list of what I plan to do, so you don't need to mention anything in the list.
  5. PLEASE, PLEASE read the help file - especially the troubleshooting section - before posting questions or PMs.

Here's the URL to download the latest version (2.0.0.0).

Enjoy

No problem. I just hope that someone reciprocates when I ask how to flash my router.

2 days, plenty of downloads and only one comment and no PMs. I could get a complex, you know.

With a compliment like that, it's time for a new version.

Fixed the bugs (I think). I notice that the app is really calling out to be multithreaded now, so that's the next priority. Might take a bit of time, however.
