I would like to monitor the number of threads used by a specific jvm process on linux. Is there an easy way to get this information without impacting the performance of the jvm process. More specifically I am interested in the number of threads per state. ...
I was told by a professor that using C code one could heat a single pixel on an old monitor to the point that the monitor would overheat and smoke. Have any of you come across anything that would support this? I am having a debate in my office on whether this is possible or not. ...
As part of an application for a client, I need to have a section which reports temperature information (motherboard, CPU, HDD). I know there are standalone applications such as Hardware Monitor by CPUID, but again, these are standalone and I require something that I could interface with. Is there any app like this which has an API or i...
Hi All, I am thinking about adding a third monitor to my coding station. I currently run 1600x1200 on a dell 20.1", which is ok, but I am thinking to move to something that will do 1920x1200. I'm doing the purchase on eBay, so can't really see the monitor beforehand. Last time I bought a "Widescreen" (I read "ShortScreen") monitor, I...
I was asked to find a way to monitor changes (modification, renaming, deletion, moving) of files in specific folders on the company's shared file server (simple windows shared directory). I wrote a simple app in C# that uses FileSystemWatcher to monitor these changes and notify a particular email address of them. What I'd like to know n...
Is it possible to re-assign the Win + L hotkey to another executable/shortcut? Use-case - I would like to switch off the monitor of my laptop as soon as it is locked. I know of a executable which can lock and turn off the monitor but I do not want to change the way the system is locked (by running the program explicitly or by some other...
I've written a helpdesk monitor application that is designed to sit on a big plasma screen in a support department, the application has 5 views that it revolves around, the content of most of those screens is different, but they have some common components, being one silverlight control and a css background image. I'm worried that over ...
In short: I want to monitor selected calls from an application to a DLL. We have an old VB6 application for which we lost the source code (the company wasn't using source control back then..). This application uses a 3rd party DLL. I want to use this DLL in a new C++ application. Unfortunately the DLL API is only partially documented, ...
I've been programming for years on a 24 inch monitor as my secondary monitor both at home and sometimes at work. I just got a new job and they've ordered me a 13 inch laptop which I consider to be pretty small to look at and use and I'll be getting a 19 inch or smaller monitor for the secondary. Would it be inappropriate for me to bring ...
I'm writing a web application that will have "plugins". The plugins will be .DLL files which will export their functionality through predefined interfaces 'n stuff. All the .DLL files are in a folder called "Plugins", and the ASP.NET application loads them all upon startup (by using Assembly.LoadFrom). The problem is that when developin...
So my Vista machine is set to turn off it's monitors after 10 minutes. (Note : machine is not suspended, or hibernated) I have a .Net application running, that needs to "wake" the system at a specified time. As a human, you just move the mouse or press a key. How do I do this programatically? I've tried : programatically setting the...
Is it possible (with an adapter, say) to convert a dual-link DVI port on a video card/laptop to two single-link DVI ports, so that two separate monitors can be plugged in and controlled by an operating system? ...
Hiya, I've heard a lot of people talk of a tool called Memory Monitor as a better way to examine the memory usage of an iPhone app as Object Alloc doesn't give an accurate picture of how much memory an app is actually using. How can I launch Memory Monitor? I can't find it in instruments. Is it a part of a separate tool I have to downl...
Hi, When I plug my laptop into my docking station, I want my external monitor to be the attached, and the primary monitor, positioned on the left hand side. To do this, I have to go into control panel, open display properties, position the monitors, attach, set to primary, then hit ok. Is there a way to do this in code??? I'd prefer ...
I'm looking at getting a new LCD monitor, but I'm concerned that a glossy monitor might cause more eye strain after a long day of work. I typically spend a lot of time in front of my monitor, so eye strain is definitely something I have thought about. Do you prefer the matte or glossy LCD screens and why? ...

anyone ever see the visual monitoring tools factories and plants have? they show components of the manufacturing system in something reminiscent of a flowchart or visio diagram, but instead of a static image, each component has some interactive element (e.g. showing system stats or messages) I want to build something like this for an al...
Tinkering with Performance Monitor, I see: Web Service -> Current Connections Web Service -> Get Requests/sec Are there better counters to look at? Or perhaps other software? Thanks, -E ...
I'm referring to monitors as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_(synchronization) None of the definitions here seem apropos: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/monitor So why are they called that? == Update == Thank you for the answers, everyone! I guess I was confused because I don't think of monitors usually as a...
How can I get the size of the display in centimeters or inches? This code does not always works correctly: HDC hdc = CreateDC(_T("DISPLAY"),dd.DeviceName,NULL,NULL); int width = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, HORZSIZE); int height = GetDeviceCaps(hdc, VERTSIZE); ReleaseDC(0, hdc) Especially for multi-monitor configuration. Update: I need to get...
