Keeping with the tradition of this site. What other tools do you use to keep your servers running.
I want to make this a sticky with links to any useful apps. programs or tools you may use.
I'll start:
FireDaemon freeware and paid versions
What Is It?
FireDaemon is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any native Win32 application or script (eg. BAT/CMD, Perl, Java, Python, TCL/TK) as a Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 service. FireDaemon features easy configuration (via GUI or XML), a low memory/CPU overhead, subprocess prioritization, custom environments, CPU binding plus monitoring and logging to the event log and on-disk log files

Autokick Free but could go commercial with extended features
What is it?
Autokick is a Windows based program that assists server administrators in managing the environment of their servers in order to help them provide a good gaming experience for players. It does this by allowing admins to set tolerance levels for player behavior. If the rules are violated, the admin can warn, kick or even ban players from the server.

RealVNC (VNC) free
What is it?
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately.

Serv-U WinX $39.00
What is it?
serv-U is a FTP server you can install on your dedicated server. Much easier to use then FTP via IIS. also comes with a simple to setup interface and tray icon, to inform you when someone is connected to your FTP site. Used to upload cfg files as well as maps and mods.

Please add any other programs you use on your game servers. duplicate apps welcome. Not everyone likes VNC I prefer SSH or Terminal servers.
