Can it be achieved and how? My computer sometimes reboots itself and, of course any stats gathered from the last automated collection are lost, but I have to bear that inconvenience, thinking that RasperryPi may be too difficult for elderly digestion.

Manually starting stats recording is not onerous, but merely inconvenient if, present; I am thinking of when awayfor any time.

DSLstats doesn't have any built-in means of starting itself automatically after booting, but I presume Windows must have the ability to autostart programs. I expect someone else will be able to advise on this.

Depends on the OS. If it's Windows just throw the DslStats shortcut in the startup folder, job done.

In Windows 10 it's located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

May be different in Windows 7. If so just open the start menu, click programs, drag DslStats into the startup folder. No idea for Windows 8.*

Thank you both! It now works straightway.
To save another thread, am I to understand that, provided both computer and router are on, MDWS collects data in real time, so that should a random reboot occur, the only data lost will be that up to immediately before the reboot, rather anything post the last DSLStats auto collection?

[roseway]

MDWS data is uploaded once a minute. The only data lost will be that which would have been uploaded during the downtime while the PC is rebooting.

Thank you for confirming.

How would one autostart on Raspbian?

Somewhere on the forum there's a discussion about this, and a post by me explaining in detail how to do it. I'm pressed for time at the moment, but I'll try to find it later.

Maybe this one?  http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,15882.0.html Discussion starts a couple of pages in.

That's it, and it's worth reading through the whole discussion, because my solution didn't allow for the time taken for the desktop to initialise.
