Automatically opening and connecting to a C-Bus network on boot up

I'm sure that I did this years ago but I cannot find the command line where Toolkit opens and selects the project and connects automatically so that I can record the log and isn a power failure occurs it will automatically do this.

I can open toolkit automatically on a boot up but it's the command line switches that I cannot recall and cannot find where I stored the document. Or am I dreaming this and it was something else that I did for another program?

 

I dont think there is any Command-Line Parameters for Toolkit, there is for PICED and Schedule Plus. But I think both of them need a license if you have them connected to C-Bus for a period of time, otherwise they will disconnect. However I would give Piced a go.

 

Going off the cuff here Chris, but I think you need to configure C-Gate to open your default project when Toolkit opens. Dive into the folder for C-Gate folder and find your config txt file. Change that file to open your project by default and connect on start up. When your pc boots, toolkit will start and C-Gate will open the correct project and open the network.

Edit: Just had a quick look at my setup and my memory actually worked (thank you coffee).
You need to change your config file C:\Clipsal\C-Gate2\config\C-GateConfig.txt

Code:

#### project.default:
# Name of the default project
# Default Value: 
# Scope:         global
# Effective on:  restart
###
project.default= (Your project name here)
....


#### project.start:
# Space-separated list of projects to start on server startup
# Default Value: 
# Scope:         global
# Effective on:  restart
###
project.start= (Your project name here)

 

Good thought Damaxx however just a note on this, but this is just when C-Gate starts not Toolkit (well if C-Gate isnt running when Toolkit is opened it will start it) but thought I would make that point. If you just want C-Gate to do the logging then you can just start that service whenever the PC starts and set the config like Damaxx has said rather than having to open Toolkit.
