Kick-off! is a reliability tool for unattended systems. It ensures that servers and kiosks remain up and running when they're needed. To do this, Kick-off! continuously monitors your system to make sure it is running normally. If the system crashes, Kick-off! restarts it automatically.
The current version of the Kick-off! software can be found on our web site, at

In addition to system crash detection, Kick-off! can monitor applications for failures. The Kick-off! software includes a "Launcher" utility to monitor existing applications. See "Using Launcher" for more information.
Kick-off! also supports our "Rebound! Timer" technology, offering an additional level of failure detection to custom applications. See "Using Rebound! Timers" for more information.
Kick-off! for Linux consists of three pieces, a daemon, an application launcher, and a control-panel application.
