Thread: pgTray - win32 tray tool for monitoring PostgreSQL service
Hi all! Everyone who use PostgreSQL server on Windows knows - it would be nice to have some tray management and monitoring tool for PostgreSQL server which is running as NT Service (for example - MS SQL already have such tool). I have created a new project on pgfoundry - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgtray. I'm opened for any ideas how can we improve this tool and what features whould be helpful. Thanks, Andrei.

Yes, you can download and try it. Now it's a single pgtray.exe application.

Oh, very interesting. I'm not sure it's really required - but can you provide some links about this? Andrei.

I can do something in Delphi in a matter of hours and would be able to donate the code as a BSD license. I have done a similar tray application for Firebird and it would be just a matter of changing the service it monitors. We could also do a control panel applet. Later, Tony Caduto AM Software Design

(not having tested it..) > We could also do a control panel applet. I don't really see the point. Given that "the modern way of doing things" is sticking the icon in administrative tools and not control panel. But I won't prevent you of course :-) //Magnus

When you do the installer, please make sure it's compatible with stackbuilder (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/stackbuilder) so it can use the new easy-to-install method on windows. //Magnus

There is a setup kit in the stackbuilder CVS which makes it a snap to build a compatible MSI installer. Regards. Dave
