Sonar - to the depths of the file system

In one of the songs of Victor Tsoi, published after his death, there is a line: "Watch yourself - be careful, watch yourself. "Indeed, in the modern world you need to look after themselves and their software software. No it is not paranoia - sometimes it's just necessary. In order to not get distracted and continue to take care of yourself, not at your computer, there is a tool called Sonar.

The main function of the program - monitoring file system changes on your hard drive, and the provision of information to the user. For what purposes can use the information obtained from the Sonar:

• software for monitoring the presence of a Trojan, and other files, the purpose of which is a concern.
• to find the reasons for the slowdown Spotlight works.
• to measure the number of calls to the hard drive, the data is especially useful for programmers and testers in order to optimize the speed of the software.

Developers from Matterform Media Sanar recommend using in conjunction with the uninstaller Yank, Which includes the ability to monitor and record all activities during the installation of any Linux distribution, be it the pkg, its own installer program or a simple installation drag-and-drop. Most utilities will have to remove the software are quite simple search algorithms, unlike them Yank uses own log-file to detect the "tails" that allows you to withdraw from the system intentionally hidden files installed with application.

We return to the Sonar, the interface is simple and accurate, as befits a program of this kind. «Add Flag» button allows you to add a label for a specific time interval. For example, you can set the interval from the start of installation of third-party applet before it is completed, in the Sonar window will reflect all the changes to the file system during this period. Convenient filter events, type in «punto» window and a second in front of us all disk activity Punto Switcher for monitoring time.

Every two minutes, and after the completion of the work, Sonar saves in the Preferences folder of the event log (event log), if you need to keep a log-file immediately follow in the Events> Flush events to menu disk. For any file noted footwork displays the path to find the desired object is not difficult.

At the moment, the cost is $ 17.95 Sonar for Yank will have to pay the sum of $ 19.95. Kit becomes quite expensive, but for the two days of use, reason to doubt its effectiveness was not.
