    Abstract: A voice mail system includes a call processing unit to receive incoming calls and access requests, a data storage unit to store digital representations of audio messages on a storage medium, and an administrative unit to enable a user to define a voice mail profile. The profile includes a set of voice mail conditions and a corresponding set of conditional actions. Each condition specifies at least one characteristic of an incoming call or system access request. The voice mail system processes a system access request or incoming call by determining whether at least one of the voice mail conditions is satisfied and, if so, responding to the system access request or incoming call according to the corresponding conditional action.

    Abstract: An example of a solution provided here comprises: receiving a message from a sender; providing the message to a recipient; and in response to a request from the sender, automatically transmitting multiple-party receipt notifications to a number of persons. Thus a number of persons may be notified that the recipient has been provided with the content of the message. In some cases, such a solution may comprise providing limits for the multiple-party receipt notifications.

    Abstract: A method, system, and program for setting operation based resource utilization thresholds for resource use by a process are provided. An efficiency-based workload manager samples multiple actual resource use characteristics while a process executes, where the actual resource use characteristics designate a portion of a total amount of system resources available to the process that are utilized by the process at multiple times over a sampling period. Next, responsive to detecting the conclusion of the sampling period, the efficiency-based workload manager determines an operation based resource utilization threshold for the process based on a maximum resource use within the multiple samplings of actual resource use characteristics. Then, the efficiency-based workload manager stores the operation based resource utilization threshold for access by a workload manager, where the workload manager uses the operation based resource utilization threshold to restrict the process to resource use up to the operation based resource utilization threshold within an execution environment managed by the workload manager.

    Abstract: A system and method for path saturation in a storage area network so that the throughput of the storage area network may be determined. The system and method includes a software utility suite that uses either a system administration scripting language, e.g., Perl or Korn shell, or by compiled or machine language software. The software utility suite includes a set of software tools to be installed on one or more computer systems sharing access to a data storage system, such as a storage area network (SAN). The software tools running on these separate computer systems communicate and collaborate in a peer-to-peer fashion in order to coordinate loading, testing and measurement of storage throughput on the shared data storage system. The software tools further coordinate the collection, storage and presentation of results data obtained through such loading, testing and measurement of the storage throughput of the shared data storage system.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for improving the performance of a disk drive. Due to the problem of file fragmentation that occurs with multiple, writes, deletes, and rewrites, the performance of a storage drive can be drastically affected. Typically, the performance is as a result of increased access times to files. To alleviate the problem, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided to track file fragmentations and actively defragment storage drives when the computer system using the drive is idle. Thus, the drive performance is maintained without lengthy engagement of defragmentation programs initiated by user.

    Abstract: A methodology for printing a document on a plurality of printers is disclosed. The present invention comprises a Classification Program (CP), a Specific Printer Program (SPP), a Color Printer Program (CPP), and a Black/White Printer Program (B/WPP). The CP analyzes each page of the document to determine where to send the page. The SPP, CPP, and B/WPP compile the pages from the printer holding queues to form a print job, compare the print job to a printer page threshold, and separate the print job if necessary. The SPP, CPP, and B/WPP also analyze the available printers to determine the printer with the shortest wait time and send the print job to the appropriate printer. The document may then be reassembled from the various printers to produce a finished document which was printed in considerably less time than the prior art printing methods.
