PEEK® Features and Pricing

Administration:: Help users without running to their terminal: see their error messages, their screens, their input!
Problem Solving:: When PEEK is started, all data in the current buffers is displayed; this gives you some past history, to allow you to diagnose user problems even after they have occurred, often after they have disappeared from the monitored user's screen.
Poke Mode:: Input into any terminal from another terminal! Gracefully log out unattended terminals. With Poke mode, you become another terminal. You can type anything on behalf of another user, including an <interrupt>!
Training:: Each student's terminal PEEKs on the screen of the instructor and sees exactly what the instructor sees!
Productivity:: Use PEEK to work with multiple terminals at once and run programs on each of them. Switch back and forth between these sessions! Authorized users can PEEK and Poke on any terminal that is already logged in.
Console Access:: Type system console commands from any authorized user.
Script Access:: Set up shell scripts to poke commands on user terminals or to execute console commands!
Ease of Use:: A message command is included to easily send text to the monitored user while they are typing. [Our Status Line Message software allows messages to be sent to the status line of the terminal without disrupting the screen (extra cost option).]
Supports:: Local terminals, dial in users, TCP/IP users, character based X-Windows users, any logged in user! (The only exception is graphical X-Windows users.)
Control:: Restrict PEEK access by user id or group based on the monitored user's id/group.
Auditors:: Invoke PEEK as a background process into a output file to get a log of a user's activities!
Support:: A one year warranty is included, providing new releases and telephone support.

Pricing for PEEK for UNIX is based on the number of PEEKable users on a single system. It is based on the number of users you wish to be able to PEEK upon (the total number of users that are configured as PEEKable). International customers please add $100 per order if the software and manual need to be shipped. Pricing for PEEK for UNIX is listed below:


Number of PEEKable  License Price
        Users
------------------  -------------

1 to 16 Users          $200
17 to 32 Users         $500
33 to 64 Users       $1,000
65 to 128 Users      $1,500
UNLIMITED Users      $2,000

Should you decide to increase the number of PEEKable users at a later date, you would pay the difference between the then current list price for the tier level at which you purchased and the then current price of the new tier level for the number of users you wish to monitor.
