The "Other" Panel

The "Other" panel

When you click the "Other" tab, a panel appears with controls for customizing all of Rebound!'s extra features.

Create a log entry when...

Rebound! supports our new "monoLog" software to make a log of system activity. These check boxes let you configure what types of activities Rebound! will add to the log. Click the "View Log..." button to open monoLog.

Tip: You can also use monoLog to notify you when important activity occurs. See the monoLog user manual for more information.

Relaunch open applications after crash

If this box is checked, Rebound! will relaunch every application that was running before a crash when it restarts the system. This "bookmarking" feature is more flexible than Mac OS' "Startup Items" folder, since it returns your computer to the state it was in before a crash.

Note: The bookmarking feature will relaunch applications, but it will not open documents that may have been open before the crash.

Periodically restart the system

If this box is checked, Rebound! will automatically restart the system at the same time of day on any day(s) of the week you specify.

As with application crashes, Rebound! will first attempt to initiate a Finder restart, and the Finder will attempt to quit all open applications. If an application fails to quit, the Rebound! hardware will then perform a hard restart, after a delay specified by the "Restart if system doesn't respond" slider in the "System Crashes" panel.

Tip: Some applications suffer from slow "memory leaks" or fragmentation of memory. Over time these can accumulate and reduce the performance and stability of your server. Periodically restarting your computer during times of low usage can reduce the chance of a crash occurring during times of high usage.
