Tool Tray interface

When the Server configuration file contains the CONSOLE TOOL_TRAY keyword, the c-treeACE Server starts in background, displaying only a c-tree icon in the Windows tool tray. This feature is especially nice for ‘simple’ user sites, with no system administrative expert. Although more sophisticated sites will prefer running the c-treeACE Server as a service, this feature gives a similar ‘service-like’ background effect, without the user needing to learn Windows service administration.

CONSOLE TOOL_TRAY

Under Microsoft Windows, starts the c-treeACE Server in background, displaying only a c-tree icon in the Windows tool tray. This feature can also be activated with the ampersand, ‘&’, character on the command line. For example:

C:>ctsrvr &

Default: Disabled

Add the following keyword to your server configuration file, ctsrvr.cfg:

CONSOLE   TOOL_TRAY

This keyword is not supported when the Server is running as a Service.

The c-treeACE Servers for Windows accept the ‘&’ symbol, (“^&” for Windows Server 2003/XP/Vista), as a command line parameter to execute in CONSOLE TOOL_TRAY mode. The following example launches the Server in “background-tool-tray” mode:

C:\server>  ctsrvr &
