The ability to run on multiple accounts

[RobArtPhoto]

I would like to remain logged in, have a family member (or more) log into their account(s) and be able to use the mobile mouse as well from their own iPhones. Currently this is not possible as the server can only run one instance at a time.
It would be very helpful for Mobile Mouse Pro to be multiple user account capable.

A similar thought was brought up here in the Mac section, http://mobilemouse.com/forum/showthread.php?370-Running-server-as-a-system-daemon&highlight=accounts

I think it would be better to have the server side capable of running in separate instances, however rather then having to change system settings.

you can just install the server to run on anyones account...

As for switching USER accounts and staying logged on, pleae got google the subject, as I don't have time to explain why thats just a little bit NUTTS... :)

Not sure what your issue is with fast user switching, so dismissing that as moot... The server is installed on both accounts. It will only run one instance of the engine while the computer is on.

This is another of those windows won't let you did it answers, if you fast switch a user then the previous user is disconnected, full stop end of story...

It's the way windows works, thats why if you fast switch from your account the menus change... so sorry matey... if you were using linux I know of a work around for that but not windows...

You can use it on multiple accounts, just install and run it on each account. Also, make sure that you are using a different port for each installation.

Don't dismiss what I say, as I know shit loads more then you do, did younnotice that the devs didn't answer your question about fast switching... Because it can't do it because windows doesn't let you do that... Dumb ass...

Problem: Once it's been run on each account with no attention paid to port selection (how do you know to do that? what are valid port selections?), there's no obvious way to UN-run and RE-run the server.

Thus, after switching from user A to user B, the MM connection was still to user A.

My solution was to run Activity Monitor and to kill the running Mobile Mouse task for both users. Then, whichever one wants to use it can run the server and then the iPhone app to connect.

Perhaps there's a more elegant way, but I haven't found it yet.
