34 Configuring, starting, and stopping the FSE Management Console
Windows specific
On Windows platform, you can also start or stop the FSE Management Console client using graphical user
interface.
When starting up, the FSE Management Console client reads the initialization file for the current user. This
file contains all the current settings made by this user during the last session, for example, defined systems
with connection details and settings from the Settings dialog. The environment of the client is restored to its
original state - the stored settings are applied and the corresponding system objects are added to the tree.
If a password has been previously saved for a system, the FSE Management Console client tries to
reconnect silently, otherwise the Connection dialog appears.
The location of the FSE Management Console client initialization file is platform-dependent.
Linux specific
On Linux platform, the initialization file is located in the directory $HOME. The value of the environment
variable $HOME is /root for root user and /home/UserLoginName for other users.
Windows specific

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\guicltrc.
The command-line options of the FSE Management Console client are the same of all supported platforms.
