Cool :)

 

I'm now working on postmaster windows shell. It's not finished yet but main things work.

Funcionality implemented now is :

    Console redirection for capture output from postmaster

    Starting-stoping postmaster

    Choose for shutdown mode

    System tray icon

    Postmaster options are read from registry

        -postmaster path

        -datadir

        -additional options

 

Funcionality not implemented yet, but planned :

    Writing captured output from postmaster to log file

    Options setup dialog

    Edit pg_hba.conf

    ???

   

 

Application is MFC free pure windows API (compiler:gcc-mingw, Dev-C++ IDE) .

 

Here is the screenshot

 

I also be GLAD to read about plans for native windows port in 7.4.

If anyone is interested i can post source code, or maybe this firrst steps can go to gborg as a separate project

i'm not sure yet.

 

PS: Excuse me for my english, I'm better in C :)
