== Additional remarks ==
#(on NOT Windows) When mono is already active (as daemon or from command line in another process) you can start any mono executable without having it prepended by the mono command. As normally (if you did not uninstall it) xsp4 is running as a daemon, mono is always available so you can run mono executables as normal linux executables. You won't notice the difference. However if you don't have the x bit set, you get access refused when trying to execute. Without the x bit set you have to prepend mono as in: ''mono utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe''. Then it executes without the x bit set because then it is an argument to the mono command.
#CumulusUtils is written in C#, HTML and javascript. All HTML and javascript is embedded in the C# code and generated on execution of ''CumulusUtils''. The cumuluscharts.txt charts library was based on the cumuluscharts.js originally distributed with ''CumulusMX'', probably the version a bit before April 2020 and has been modified since. With the appearance of the [[ChartsCompiler]] the name cumuluscharts.txt has been preserved but the technique of creating the charts has been changed.
#As CumulusUtils itself runs in the Cumulus directory, the data directory (data) is one level below. CumulusUtils currently uses - a copy of - dayfile.txt, the monthly logfiles and incidentally the alltime.ini file. It also takes information from Cumulus.ini. All output is written to the utils/ subdirectory. All logs are created in the utils/utilslog/ subdirectory. It also uses the AirLink.log and the ExtraLog files in a similar way when the user has such devices.
