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.

Have you done any development yet? 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.

Yes, you can download and try it. Now it's a single pgtray.exe
application. I'm going to make an msi installer and add "Autostart"
option to the menu.

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

yeah, this is good stuff. (not having tested it..)

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 :-)

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.

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