===== Executable =====

GtkMonitor is a native executable program.

The executable file is: ''[[dir:exec]]/gtkmonitor''

If the Gtk files are missing from your Exec directory, you missed the graphical utilities step during the installation process. Check the Notes under Getting/Building in [[install:nix#getting_building|UNIX Installation]].
===== Configuration =====

GtkMonitor may be used to enable/disable and configure the various [[:server:|Synchronet Servers]] with GUI dialogs, launch the [[util:SCFG]] utility with the BBS->Configure menu option:

And edit the various [[:config:text files]], [[:config:INI files]], [[:config:CFG files]], and [[:config:filter files]] used by Synchronet.

==== Settings ====

The GtkMonitor configuration settings are stored in the ''[[:dir:ctrl]]/gtkmonitor.ini'' file.

===== Customization =====

The utilities for viewing and editing various file types are sysop configurable via the File->Customize menu.

GtkMonitor may also be used to edit the Synchronet BBS ''[[custom:text.dat]]'' file and ''[[custom:menu files]].''
