This quickly and completely clears the entire list of benchmarked nameservers, removing every nameserver regardless of it source. Given a file containing an IP list provided by the user, this command removes any nameservers appearing in the list that are not also system nameservers. So if, for example, the system was configured to use the OpenDNS nameservers that are also present in the Benchmark's built-in list, this menu command will not remove those from the list. While this menu command does remove any of the default built-in nameserver IPs from the list, it does not remove any that are also currently in use by the system.

See the command-line pages for information about the file's IP list format.Īs you can certainly guess, this menu command performs the reverse function of the “Add System's Nameservers” command: It removes any of the system's currently configured nameservers from the Benchmark's IP server list. This menu command prompts for a file containing a list of nameservers to be added to the Benchmark's current list. Personal lists of additional nameservers can be created for addition or removal to and from the Benchmarks server list. Note that as with the “System” resolvers, all of these built-in nameservers are added to the Benchmark's list, by default, at start-up.

This menu command immediately adds these nameservers to the Benchmark's list. The list has been chosen so that any of the nameservers might be worth considering as alternatives or additions for your system or network gateway. The Benchmark contains a default built-in internal list (which is updated from time to time in new Benchmark versions, as needed, to keep the list current) of generally useful publicly available DNS resolving nameservers. Therefore, this menu command can be used at any time to restore the system nameservers, which may have been removed by any means, to the benchmarking list. Note that this is automatically done at the start-up of the Benchmark unless it is inhibited by a command-line parameter. This menu command immediately adds the nameservers that are currently configured for use by this system to the list of nameservers being benchmarked. If that doesn't work under Linux/WINE, the Linux Alt + Printscreen can be used to capture the application's window. Note: Since many Linux/WINE systems are not configured with a System Menu, a self screen capture can also be triggered (also in Windows) by simultaneously depressing the keyboard's Control, Alt, and Shift keys then (while still depressing those keys) clicking the mouse's left button in any unused area of the application's window, such as the large DNS Benchmark title.

You can save the image in either compressed PNG format, or as a larger Windows BMP file. You will then be presented with a dialog box to specify the name and location of the saved image file. After a short delay to allow the menu to disappear fully, the Benchmark's window contents will be captured. To help with sharing the Benchmark's display, or documenting some behavior that might be confusing, the Benchmark includes a built-in self screen capture system. For the sake of completeness, and to create a comprehensive reference for the Benchmark's System Menu, those descriptions will be duplicated here. Most of the options on the Benchmark's System Menu will already be familiar to you if you have previously studied the Features & Operation Walkthrough page.

However, in the case of many of GRC's applications, which are not complex enough to require a traditional set of Window menus running along the top left, the System Menu provides a handy place for us to tuck our applications' “power-user features” with which we didn't wish to clutter and confuse the main application.Īs you can see below, the DNS Benchmark's System Menu is chock full of goodies: And since there are other more obvious ways to do all of those things, the System Menu has historically received very little attention. Most applications' System Menus present a relatively boring set of commands having to do with managing the application's window Move, Size, Restore, Maximize, Minimize, Close, etc. “You can't optimize it until you can measure it”Ī little-known feature of Windows (which has been present ever since Windows version 1.0) is the so-called “System Menu.” It is accessed on any Windows application by either clicking the left mouse button on the application window's icon - at the far upper-left of the application's window - or by clicking the right mouse button anywhere on the application's title bar.
