Cumulus Toolbox contains a variety of ‘extra’ features to enhance the power of Cumulus by providing a number of automated processes.
*Send an email into ‘Toolbox’ which will in turn update the Current Condition within Cumulus and therefore your website. For example, send it ‘Very windy’ via email and have it appear to your website viewers.
 
*The ability to run remote commands (either an executable/batch file on the PC or send requestrequests via the internet). For example, if you need to run a script each day on your web server to process data you can create an Remote Command HTTP request on the Toolbox.
 
*View and/or edit key Cumulus files from within the Toolbox - Monthly log files, dayfile.txt, today.ini, yesterday.ini, cumulus.ini and the Standard HTML web templates. Automatic backups are kept of all changes
All other settings are stored in the Windows Registry
 
 
=Coming Soon=
 
*The ability to send text messages to issue remote commands to Toolbox
*Receive alerts on your mobile phone via text messages from Toolbox
 
 
 
The product is still in beta testing..
*Build 44 - Changed HTTP Remote Request to Remote Commands tab allowing you to run local files or web commands. Fixed a bug where the Time for a back would not show in the setup screen. Increased font size on the display generally
*Build 43 - added automatic backups of key Cumulus data
*Build 42 - fixed a error in the RealTime pruning code for non-UK dates, also a logic issue where the log would not always prune. Toolbox now has a full setup and uninstall routine to allow you to choose where to install the files.
