hmm :-( at least older Windows VM versions started directly to systray. -- Pavel On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 2:46 PM, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com> wrote:

that was always like that... headless mode is not actually headless in any of the platforms.

Hi,

it seems that the headless mode in CogVM on Windows is not working well. It always opens a window and the only difference from the normal start is that it uses minimalization to systray. As far as I know the older windows VMs always used systray (bad) but without the initial window opening.

yeah... we need a real headless mode (no systry, nothing... just a deamon running)

Yes, from "Issue 72: Don't open an Dialog on Mac in headless mode" (http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=72):

This is even more important now with the MBP retina. A "headless" cog image always forces the GPU to discrete mode, draining the battery. I often use headless (e.g. for Jenkins jobs and web scrapers) and in addition to the distraction of the unneeded window popping up, the switch to the power hogging GPU for no reason is even more of a drag.
