My PC is running only when I'm using it so even if I had DSLstats to fire up on start-up there would be big gaps.
I could go for a Raspberry Pi but it is quite a bit to pay for a box that would only be used for that one purpose.
I do have a box that is on 24/7 - that is a QNAP NAS box running Linux. But that can only be accessed via a web interface, telnet or (obviously) file shares. The lack of a console interface rules out running DSLstats.
Prompted by V_R's topic I've just been doing some thinking (dangerous I know) which has led to a pretty off-the-wall idea.
There are three main functions to DSLstats: (a) configuration, (b) collection of data from the modem (and upload to mydslwebstats if that is enabled) and (c) the interface that shows the graphs and stats. What I've been wondering is how much would it take to make it so that if it was to be installed on a shared drive on the NAS box functions (a) and (c) could be run from a Windows PC while (b) the collection of the stats and uploading to mydslwebstats was done under Linux on the NAS box? Using Putty I can access the command line to add tasks to crontab.
