The HG612_current_stats worked well, but the Graph6 just seemed to loop.

Is the stats collector also going to be a .exe?

Works for me, including Graph6.exe
after I had copied the Apps directory from my more permament installation
and used absolute (not relative) paths in the ini file for Apps

You should have just been able to point to the existing Apps folder by editing the ini file to state where the apps were stored.

So how did you start Graph6 and what folder was it in?

I thought of that after doing the copying. Just tested it out, and yes it does work that way too.

I have an oddity that all the files create by graph6.exe sometimes have wrong timestamps.
The ones I just did on 6 Jan at 10:11 GMT are reporting 5 Jan 22:28.
Some seem to come up with 'real' log creation time, some with a timestamp to match the .log file (sensible), and some with some other apparantly arbitrary time.

BatBoy: I hope Bald_Eagle's other reply has sorted your looping issue.
But for info: I copied into folder "D:\Temp\modem"
I did have to create the folder D:\Temp\modem\Current_Stats explicitly;
otherwise HG612_current_stats.exe failed to operate correctly (without error message).
HG612_current_stats.exe did create appropriate subdirectories when run.

In reply to a post by StephenTodd:

Note I said ''It would be best if the Locations could all work as relative locations."
I certainly agree explicit paths should also be allowed.
Relative paths make it much easier to install the application where you like, and to relocate it later if required;
no need to change a default .ini file in either case.

Unfortunately not. I don't have a problem with HG612_current_stats.exe, that works fine.
It's Graph6 that loops. I left it running overnight, but it was still running just now.

In reply to a post by Andrue:

Yeah. However I'd make them relative to something fixed. Either the location of the EXE or better yet somewhere in the official application data or user data folders. Absolute paths can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
