Upon the first launch of Just Connect a new preference pane called ToolsOnAir Preferences “ToolsOnAir” will be installed. This preference pane contains Stay Alive and can be used to automatically start Start or restart Restart (i.e. “keep alive”“Keep Alive”) Just Out and Just Connect. This helps to ensure that interruptions to your playout are kept to an absolute minimum.

Should one of the selected apps crash at any time, they will automatically be restarted and the playout continues. This is particularly useful if you have a completely automated playout with limited human oversight (for example and the outage happens during the night) , as without this function, an unexpected termination during such unattended hours would result in complete loss of playout activity until the next possible human intervention.
