Personally speaking, I don't see any real need to use the system tray
plugin.  The agent is installed on a server ... how often do you stay
logged into a server watching the screen?  Servers are meant to run
services that are remotely accessed, thus I connect to them and access
the services (including the NSClient agent remotely).

So I have never included the System Tray interface and NSClient works
very well without it.  I deploy identical configs from a tried and
trusted config file to every windows machine I manage and it just
works out of the box :).

The test mode will allow you to debug the config file on a development
machine.  Once that is working you can run nsclient as a service and
connect to it remotely without having to go near the machine(s).

Regards,
  Andy.

PS.  These are my personal opinions and mileage may vary from person
to person and installation to installation.
