  • Patent number: 9813369
    Abstract: Tracking messages in a mentoring environment includes presenting to a reviewer a computer-based activity tracking form that is populated with data from an underlying relational database. The underlying relational database includes a content of e-mail messages addressed to an adult mentor and a content of e-mail messages addressed to a juvenile protégé. The underlying relational database also includes a status of e-mail messages between the adult mentor and juvenile protégé as determined by an e-mail interceptor. A status of an e-mail, between the adult mentor and the juvenile protégé, which has been intercepted by the e-mail monitor is displayed. In response to a displayed status indicating that the e-mail has not been reviewed, transmission of the e-mail to an intended recipient is blocked. In response to the displayed status indicating that the e-mail has been reviewed, transmission of the e-mail to the intended recipient is enabled.

  • Patent number: 8255928
    Abstract: A process registers a system management event in an application configuration database. Responsive to detecting the registered system management event during execution of one application of the set of applications, the process identifies applications of the set of applications associated with the registered system management event that are executing. The process then terminates the applications of the set of applications associated with the registered system management event that are executing. Responsive to terminating the applications of the set of applications associated with the registered system managing event that are executing, the process then executes a handler that processes the registered system management event.
