... it's the wife's birthday weekend, off out for dinner shortly.

Who with, and what's your wife going to say?

shhhhhh, don't tell her!

Thank goodness that I only write C-code for Unix / Linux kernel using OSs and not BGW!

We posted at the same time.

I'm doing this all on the server, so I have the following ini file - using the defualt folders. Yes I downloaded the latest versions this afternoon.

[Login]
IP_address = 192.168.0.3
Username = admin
Password = admin
Shell = sh

[Locations]
Drive = C:
Main_folder = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats
Scripts_and_Programs = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats\Scripts
Apps_folder = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats\Apps
Current_Stats_folder = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats\Current_Stats
Ongoing_Stats_folder = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats\Ongoing_Stats

[Mode]
Mode=extensive

[Graphing]
Auto_graph_Snapshot_data = YES

I also seem to be getting isrunning files for every minute

That's the start of an attempt (not yet implemented) to determine if HG612_stats.exe is still running at the same time as say, HG612_current_stats.exe is started.
The modem doesn't seem to like 2 simultaneous login attempts.

I've put the new files (the uploaded ones) in the C:\HG612_Modem_Stats directory/folder

I wonder if that could be the problem?

You have the scripts & programs set as "Scripts_and_Programs = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats\Scripts" in the ini file, yet the programs are currently stored one level up at "Scripts_and_Programs = C:\HG612_Modem_Stats"

Get used to it!

Some poor soul (who shall remain nameless until he exposes himself - not in the biblical sense, of course) might have to read my very, very messy code some day & add a load of extra code to ensure a level of compatibility for that strange band of penguin huggers out there

isrunning sounds like a potential nightmare.

I've shifted the programs including the ini file to the scripts folder, but it's still leaving the isrunning file and it doesn't generate graphs when I run current_stats.

Just thinking the only time you really need to to run current_stats is when the modem re-synced as thats the only time they will change iirc. Would it not be possible for the get stats exe to run current_stats when it see's the up time has reset, thus automatically logging those stats after every re sync?

Why's that?


If you have any other suggestions (in 'C') for checking if a given program is still running, please speak up as I don't know how to do that.

I wouldn't do it, it just looks too hard for little benefit. For instance, what if the isrunning file doesn't get deleted?
