Moving morph3 directory to another drive

Post by Mr. Bigglesworth »

Right now, we've got the morph3 directory and associates sitting on our C: drive. We'd like to move the whole shebang, log files and all, to our larger E: drive. Short of reinstalling, what's the best way to do that? We've noticed a "Thunderstone" key in the HKLM\software portion of the NT registry, and weren't sure if just changing the path in there would do the job.

Also, when we do that, we assume we'd need to kill monitor.exe. We've tried that in the past, for other reasons, and invariably we get an "access is denied" message from the task manager-- even when we're logged in as administrator. Any way to shut down all the monitor.exe instances?

If you just want to redirect log files you can set the location with the texis.cnf file in the morph3 directory. See http://www.thunderstone.com/site/texisman/node291.html for details on the file. For example you might have:

[Monitor]
Log File=e:\logs\monitor.log

[Texis]
Vortex Log=e:\logs\vortex.log


While reinstalling is the best way to change location, editing the InstallDir key under Thunderstone should be sufficient.

Recent monitors know "monitor -k" to kill the monitor process, otherwise you may need to use the process viewer from visual studio tools to kill the process, as it is more powerful than task manager's version.
