Glad you managed to sort it out. Sorry I wasn't around to be of more assistance!
Andy.
No worries, Andy.
There was a lot of trial and error involved, but I got there in the end.
To be honest once I'd realised that you could pull down Ross' latest version of dslstats down via the Kitematic front end and configure it from within Kitematic I knew I was on the home straight.
There was a final twist in the tail as I couldn't get the app to appear in VNC. I had been using localhost which then refused to work, but I could see within Kitematic the IP address / port combination the app was being published on, even if it took me several attempts to work out the syntax required by the VNC client(s)!!
It all seems so much simpler in hindsight now I understand the solution.
I couldn't walk away without making sure your command based solution also worked, which was very much smooth sailing in comparison.
A personal vote of thanks to both Andy and Ross for their help as I would never have got there without you and a quick mention to my missus for not getting too peed off with me for spending several hours in 'dog with a bone' mode on a Bank Holiday.
