Current Version: 2.4.1 (June 24, 2008)

Dejal Systems, LLC produces Simon, a web site monitoring tool for Mac OS X. It checks sites for changes or failures, and notifies you via e-mail, sound, speech, or other means. You can use it to track updated sites, and to alert you when an important site goes down or recovers.

Version 2.4.1 makes the following changes:

  • Fixed a bug with building the session script for the Port plug-in.
  • Fixed a bug where a server that returns binary data could cause a Port-based test to fail, with an exception logged in the Console. The binary data is now correctly recorded as hex values.
  • Added a hidden preference to output debug information from the helper for the Port plug-in. It can be activated by entering "defaults write com.dejal.simon2 PortDebugMode YES" in Terminal.
  • Also added a similar hidden preference for the Ping plug-in. Activate via "defaults write com.dejal.simon2 PingDebugMode YES" in Terminal.

Simon is available in a number of configurations, ranging in price from $29.95 ("Basic" license allowing up to 7 tests) to $195 ("Enterprise" license allowing unlimited tests). The online store offers full details.
