  • Patent number: 6993681
    Abstract: A method and system for remote administration of clients performing critical processes are disclosed herein. A client management module is used to monitor a subset of processes performed by a client. When the client management module detects that a process of the subset has terminated or become inoperable, the client management module can restart the process, as well as notify a remote system manager. Additionally, the client management module is adapted to monitor the consumption of system resources by one or more processes. Using fuzzy logic to evaluate the system resource consumptions of one or more system resource types, the client management module can select an appropriate action response to improve the performance of the process and/or notify an administrator of a status of the process. The remote system manager is adapted to monitor a connection with the client.
