Unfortunately that turned out to be a dead end.
When you run Calibre on Windows there is no seperate task running for the calibre server. It appears to be integrated into the main Calibre program.
So apart from hacking on the source and recompiling to create a modified version of Calibre, is it possible to shut down the calibre-server on a Windows installation via a plugin?
In other words, When I fire up Calibre on Windows could I integrate an option (via plugin) where I could shut down the server process.
This would create the reverse of the Calibre-server headless setup, i.e we have the GUI without the server as a opposed to the server without the GUI.
I know there are various solutions to this problem, like running identical db's and syncing but I think that is messy and wastes disk space, I am looking for a more elegent solution.
Maybe Mr Goyal could offer an opinion on the matter?
Thanks
