ABSTRACT:
Methods and arrangements of monitoring applications active on a plurality of computers are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to connect a plurality of computing devices via a keyboard video mouse (KVM) switch and to detect applications active on the computing devices. In some embodiments, each computing device may be connected to a display separate from the KVM switch. The embodiment may include detecting applications signaling a user for attention and displaying a list of active applications of the plurality of computing devices in response to a command from the user. The displaying may include giving priority to the applications signaling a user for attention.
