ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring and controlling at least one program capable of being executed on any one of at least two workstations in a network. The network includes at least one agent module resident on each of the at least two workstations and a management console connected to each of the at least two workstations. The system includes modules for identifying an event occurring with respect to a program executing on one of the at least two workstations, modules for sending an alert to the management console which identifies the event, memory for storing a plurality of triggers, each of the triggers adapted to cause an action to be taken within the network, memory for storing at least one procedure, the at least one procedure comprising at least one of the plurality of triggers, and modules for sending at least one of the procedures from the management console to the agent module resident on the one of the at least two workstations in response to receipt of the alert. A method is also provided for monitoring and controlling programs capable of being executed on any of at least two workstations in a network.
