Abstract:
A computer monitoring device, comprising:a starting mechanism which outputs a starting signal before starting a computer, said starting mechanism outputting a starting signal to the computer when a first signal, which is output from the started computer is a predetermined cycle, is stopped for a predetermined period of time; a start stopping mechanism which stops an operation of said starting mechanism when a second signal, which is output from the computer with a predetermined timing, is input; a signal output mechanism which outputs said first signal, which is output from the computer in a state in which the second signal is not detected by said signal output mechanism, to said starting mechanism; a start operation determination mechanism which outputs a third signal, which stops an operation of said start stopping mechanism, due to inputting of the starting signal to the start operation determination mechanism, said start operation determination mechanism stopping outputting of the third signal when the first signal is output from said signal output mechanism; and operation monitoring mechanism which receives the input second signal and stops outputting of the input second signal to said start stopping mechanism when said start operation determination mechanism outputs the third signal.
