java = /usr/lib/jvm/jre-9/bin/java

Aha! Yes, I had the full path originally - before sorting the right java - then after reading something I removed the vital /bin/java, thinking it was the folder it needed to point to.

So definite progress, as I now get different error messages!

In the continued absence of the much lamented tray icons, I've been trying to communicate with minimwatch via the command line. I'm not clear of the different purposes of startc, startd and starti. Running startc and starti both produce the same:

Quote:MinimWatch startup error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openhome/net/controlpoint/ICpDeviceListListener

Nothing appears to happen when I run startd, and I'm wondering if the d is for "desktop"?

So next I re-read through your guidance on Mscript and tried running that, but all I can get from it is:

Quote:MScript error

Configuration directory not found

Another path not correctly configured, I wonder?

Until today I was happily running minimwatch with java 9 on ubuntu 17.10/Gnome (as per thread at https://forum.minimserver.com/showthread.php?tid=4118).

Unfortunately I have just found that on of my other rarely used but essential applications doesn't work under java 9, so I had to set my default java version to 8. Now the minimwatch icons appear, but no right or left clicks work, so the icons don't do anything.

I'm fairly sure that if I knew how I could tell minimwatch to use java 9 (it is still installed). However I can't find a 'minimstart.conf' file as suggested above. Is there a way to do this?
