[TelstraClear] Commandline Usage Meter

Shadbolt:
geek4me: I also use and like TUC. I monitor 2 different ISPs, TelstraClear and Woosh on my work PC. TC being my home network and Woosh for work. It shows the percentage used in the tool-bar along with the Service provider when using the /config= switch if you hover over either.

I have two Telstra accounts that I want to monitor with TUC. Up until now, I haven't understood the methodology of how to get them both monitored simultaneously, so I've been changing the login details on the GUI - which is a pain.
How do I configure it to display data for two accounts? (Step by step instructions, for a novice, please!)

Hi Shadders

When using the latest version of TUC -

When you connect to an ISP like TelstraClear TUC makes a config file called TelstraClear.tucconfig or whatever ISP you connect to. My second ISP is Woosh so TUC makes a Woosh.tucconfig file. (It also makes one called tuc.tucconfig that is the last ISP you connected to - this can be renamed and used in a Shortcut.). In XP for example they are normally saved here:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\TUC

Where in my case I set it up under the Administrator account.

To make it work you need to set up a Shortcut for each ISP. I have made two under the Windows Startup Directory, one called TUC - TelstraClear, the other TUC - Woosh

In the Properties - Target Box of the Shortcut for TelstraClear I have:

"C:\Program Files\Traffic Usage Checker\tuc.exe" /config=TelstraClear.tucconfig /closetotray

In the Properties - Target Box of the Shortcut for Woosh I have:

"C:\Program Files\Traffic Usage Checker\tuc.exe" /config=woosh.tucconfig /closetotray

the /closetotray switch stops TUC exiting if you close it with the [X] icon.

Hope this helps!

Edit: If you have two Telstra Accounts they will have the same name so either rename one and use the new name in its shortcut or put them in different directories.
