I reached my WITS end and saved a bunch of time to boot

Submitted by jasonslater on Thursday, 30 August 2007No Comment
I find myself using regular commands to gain system information, some of these include:

Start->Control Panel->System
IPCONFIG
ROUTE PRINT
TASK MANAGER
PRINT MANAGER
DEVICES
SERVICES.MSC

They are all really useful but wouldn’t it be great to have all that info in just one place?

Searching through Google trying to find a program that gives me this information I found a product called Windows Inspection Tool Set (WITS) located here.

The WITS website describes the tools as “WiTS provides cross-linked list and detail views of various components and objects in a Windows system along with tools for managing them. Cross linking of object properties and flexible filtering capabilities facilitate diagnostic and troubleshooting tasks for system administrators, developers and power users. WiTS supports viewing and monitoring of several different types of objects, such as processes, network connections, users and more.

Best of all the program is open source developed in TCL/TK.
