26.6. MySQL Administrator System Tray Monitor

On Windows, MySQL Administrator distributions include a Windows System Tray monitor. This monitor is designed to provide quick access to server status information and program-launching capabilities.

When the Tray Monitor is running, its icon in the tray indicates whether the MySQL server is running or stopped. Right-clicking the icon displays a pop-up menu with items that list the status of all installed MySQL Windows services. You can start or stop each service. The menu also provides items that launch MySQL Administrator in configure-service or normal mode or launch MySQL Query Browser.
