Utilities

Richard McDonald's - AppStartSaver - www.themcdonalds.net

This is a simple screen saver for Mac OS X version 10.3 and above, that launches a regular Mac application, or a Unix executable, of your choice when the screen saver starts. I've found it great to use with Cinema 4D render clients.

Paul Mison's - Blue Coconut - www.husk.org

Ever found that your iTunes music library wasn't quite as shared as you wanted? Annoyed that you can't copy a song from your server to your laptop quickly and easily, from within everyone's favourite music jukebox application? Want to make a playlist with shared tracks? Blue Coconut is for you.

Cutedge - Postfix Enabler - www.cutedgesystems.com

Postfix Enabler helps Mac users set up a totally-functional buzzword-compliant mail server in less than a minute, the Mac Way. All within Mac OS X client software. In my opinion the best feature is the ability to set up a roving SMTP server for PowerBook users to send mail wherever they are, whenever they want, so long as they have an Internet connection. Fantastic!

objectpark software - RAID Alert - www.objectpark.net

RAID Alert is a unique application that continuously monitors attached RAID systems based on the free (Mac OS X built-in) RAID software. It will inform you about any RAID systems' status changes (esp. failures) via email, a notification dialog and an alert sound.
