Simon 3.0.1

Send Article to a Friend

Dejal’s server monitoring tool Simon has become a more-accomplished tweeter with version 3.0.1. Previously, Simon’s interface made it difficult or even impossible to find and select direct message recipients for tweets about server changes; that’s now fixed. In addition, Simon 3.0.1 fixes a bug that prevented the MySQL plug-in from loading. (New prices vary, free update, 15.6 MB)
