Abstract

Multiple subroutines in one program, or a series of programs provide centralized network administration. The administrative program monitors communications software for consistency at both server and client locations, monitors logs, objects and files at server and/or client locations and assures that investigative measures be undertaken, either by providing automatic updates or by flagging monitored features for administrative follow-up.
