   All running well here with the exception of intermittent errors on exit -- "unhandled exception ....", this has always happened in past versions but it does not trouble me much.

   I notice that the special login offers a nice way to run commands on the router, might it be possible to have an option to only run the special login once at start up and not every time it samples?  I would like to use special at the start and the normal log in during the later sampling.
 
  Alternatively I wonder if staying logged in is a possible option i.e. only login once, and might it speed up the sample time?

  I think other things like dmt stay logged in and I assume this would be OK for most people.

This really shouldn't happen, and I've been taking some time recently to investigate it more thoroughly. Hopefully there will be an improvement in the next version.

That's an interesting suggestion, and it's certainly possible. I'll give it some serious thought.

It would be possible, but I'm not sure that I want to do it that way because of other complications which it would introduce. It wouldn't speed up the sample time much, because the majority of the sample time is made up of the CLI commands sent after login. I'll have another think about it, but my inclination is against it.

I would caution against such an approach as it could lead to the situation of a complete 'lock up' of the modem/router, making a power-cycle the only means of recovery.  :-\

  I don't want to especially advocate staying logged in, but judging by DMT-tool which I have run for years faultlessly, it does not actually cause most people any issues.

I've been having a play with this, and I've implemented it slightly differently by using the special login configuration on its own. If you look at the screenshot below, you'll see that response number 4 is a simple CLI command which isn't part of the login. The option "After first login..." specifies that only the first three responses will be sent to the router after the first sample in the session. This setup works with my HG612, and produces the following entries in the event log:

Ah, a sudden thought. You should be able to use that to issue the commands to kill off Beattie's busy-body.  :)

That's a good thought. I might make it a one-click option to add those commands.

  The number of commands after "first" looks a neat and flexible way of arranging things.  I look forward to that version being available.

Since v2.6 I didn't get any errors on closing anymore.

What do you think about adding a new graph to display the variation of attainable bit rates?

Thanks for that information.

I could certainly add that extra graph. Perhaps overlaying the data on the connection speed graph would be even more useful? I could plot it in the same colours but using dotted lines. Does anyone have a view on this?

Imho overlaying sounds good!

I want to thank you for such an excellent application, i really, really like the looks of it.

Can i please, please request one feature however (as it seems not to exist yet).

can rs-w be set to auto-start recording when the application starts? that way, i can then set it as a service and be at piece of mind knowing that as long as my server is on, its grabbing stats.

Is the error reporting for FEC broken or am I actually getting 15, 000+ per min? This leading to 353m in 3 days?

Thanks for your comments.

As it happens, version 2.7, which I'm about to release, recognises two command line parameters "minimise" (or "minimize") and "startrecording" which will hopefully meet your need.
