I’m releasing a Yahoo Widget that I created a long time ago and have been meaning to release for quite a while too.
The story all begins when I took over the Coldfusion platform support for, I started to find myself spending a bit of time watching cfstat
on the servers to get a feel for the current status of the machines. As we had multiple servers (then 4, now 6) and only being able to get to cfstat directly on the machine, this was not really practicable.
What I really wanted was a little desktop application that could give me the headlines of cfstat
for as many servers as we had, all in an easy to digest format, the result is the CFStatShot Yahoo Desktop Widget.
