It is possible to start Librid in a delay mode. This means that Librid starts up and then waits for a given period of time, before attempting to form connections to library systems and other devices. It can be useful for example if Librid is running on a very slow computer and is set to automatically start at computer startup, where not all services may be up and running by the time Librid is attempting to start.

To control the delayed startup, use a command line parameter -delay:xx, where xx is the delay time in seconds. You can assign this parameter in the startup shortcut properties in Windows. Note that in Windows 7 computers you have to create a new shortcut, because the one created by the installer can not be modified.
