U-Robot is a sophisticated system utility that monitors specified folders (directories), triggering scripted actions for files that have been changed. There are almost limitless uses for this type of program including: +Automatically making backups of files that are changed when you are editing your web-site, programs, documents, configuration files etc. +Automatically updating your website when you have made changes locally. +Being alerted when changes are made to critical files. Automatically restoring changed files. +Automatically restarting failed processes. +Synchronising changes across multiple servers. +Managing mail server queues. U-Robot features include: +Intelligent event combining, whereby a series of filesystem events are combined into a single reported event. +Complex sequences of actions can be defined using the program's script editor. +Events can be deferred until a file becomes accessible. +Actions include: Copy, Move, Delete, Rename, Remove Folder, Email via SMTP, file transfer using FTP, as well as custom actions. +Automatic folder path creations. +Scripts have access to variables that can be used to define action parameters. +Different actions can be triggered depending on whether a file is added, modified or deleted. +Configurable timers. +Very low system overhead.
