My next project will be Process Manager. Using lsof I will be scanning various ports to see if a particular process is listening for incoming connections. I am in the initial states of controlling the processes, but the algorithms are complete to read if the processes are running. Currently the app scans for Apache, Mysql, Sendmail, POP, and imap. I will expand it to 6 or so processes for the free version, and every possible pertinent process I can think of for the paid version. Restarting processes will require root access so some sort of sudo command, or shell script will be required. I should be ready to release the free version in less than a week or so. The paid version, just like VirtualBox manager will have DSA encrypted login and will support more hosts. The free version will be limited to 6 hosts or so. I may make the free version much more limited that the free VirtualBox Manager. This would be in an attempt to encourage the purchasing of the paid version.

The app will use the same UI I created for VirtualBox manager, which will substantially reduce the amount of time needed to code the app.
