Process Supervisor is a unique new technology designed to automatically configure and manage processes on one or more computers for the goal of maintaining system stability and responsiveness, restricting specified executables from running, and logging program executions. Here are some of the many things it can do:

- Out-Of-Control Process Restraint: If a process starts to consume all CPU cycles to the point where the system in not responsive to user input, Process Supervisor can automatically lower the offending process's priority until it begins to behave better.

- Restriction of Disallowed Content: Using an 'allowed' and 'disallowed' list of wildcards representing process names, Process Supervisor can dictate what is allowed to execute and what isn't.

- Default Process Priorities: Always run specified applications at certain priorities.
- Logging: Programs launched and actions performed can be logged.
