Alternatively, you can run the server via the command-line using
Code:
calibre-server
This will not run the GUI at all, and will default to your current library with the current Sharing over the Net settings.

If you want the GUI to run as well, in case you need to use it, then you may prefer to launch the main command and keep it in the tray, but if you just want to run the server, there is no strict need to run the GUI at all.

Hope this helps.
