OK haven't found what I need so far so here's my question.
Background -
Running 4 clients as a service on a Q6600 and setup the gui originally to transmit intermediate blocks. I can see the 4 "17" icons in the Win XP Pro SP3 system tray and they change color from light to dark blue as work is being crunched.

How do I monitor the progress of the task, not just the intermediate blocks' progress?

You'll have to click on the taskbar icon and open the GUI to check the full test progress.

Alternately, you can go to http://seventeenorbust.com/account/testsPending.mhtml to view all your pending tests at once. (You'll have to be logged in to the SoB website first if you aren't already)

A quick search in the official SOB Forum came up with this
http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthr...hlight=monitor

or more specifically
http://devel.bluetentacle.co.uk/inde...e=dcmonitor-v1

Thanks for the link, IB - I hadn't seen that program before.

One thing I noticed that may affect vaughan's setup is that in order for the program to monitor multiple clients running on a single machine, each client must be run from it's own separate directory instead of as a service...

Enderak, your advice was the piece of information I needed.

IB, I had forgotten about that utility, Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I canot get it to work on my home network. ALL the PCs are on the same Workgroup name and are visible using Logmein Free and Logmein Ignition and even with VNC but they just won't talk to DCMonitor.

vaughan, I think there it's bugging out with \\server\shared-folder it works if you map the \\server\shared-folder to a drive say Z etc then it works. I'd just share the SoB folder as root with no modifcation possible by other users as all it needs to do is read the log - will tell you if it's running or not as well.

Could someone point me to a post or thread summarizing the SOB service switches please? (Win XP Pro SP3 32 bit). TIA.
