Windows Tray Notification Settings

Important behavior note

OpenPostings does not currently expose tray behavior in the in-app settings UI.

Tray behavior is controlled by:

• installer feature selection, and
• tray context menu actions

When tray is available

Tray support is installed with the Backend Service Worker MSI feature.

What the tray shows

Tray tooltip/status includes both services:

• Backend state (running, disconnected, stopped)
• AI Service Engine state (running, ready, stopped, not installed)

Tray menu actions

Right-click tray icon to access:

• Open OpenPostings
• Restart Backend
• Stop Backend
• Restart AI Service Engine
• Stop AI Service Engine
• Exit Tray

Double-clicking tray icon opens the desktop app.

Runtime paths (per user)

Under %LOCALAPPDATA%\\OpenPostings\\backend:

• jobs.db (runtime DB copy)
• backend.pid
• ai-engine.pid
• logs\\backend.out.log
• logs\\backend.err.log
• logs\\ai-engine.out.log
• logs\\ai-engine.err.log
• logs\\tray.log

Practical operations

• If app data stops refreshing, try Restart Backend from tray.
• If MCP tool calls fail and MCP is installed, try Restart AI Service Engine.
• If tray is missing after install, verify Backend Service Worker feature is installed.
