I have got issues with dslstats just silently crashing, by silent I mean no error prompt, just closing down.  The event log even tho its set to save on exit, is wiped when this happens, so when its relaunched the first entries are when it is launched.  So I dont know how to diagnose this, Eric I can take this to pm if you prefer for further diagnosis.

This has seemed to start since I updated to 6.5 I have now reverted to 6.0.8 just to see if it still crashes, because I have also changed a few settings which may have triggered the problem.

I'm struggling to work out how to diagnose this. How soon does it crash after starting, and is it possible to relate the time of the crash to something happening at the time? Would it be possible to reverse your recent changes in the settings and see if it still crashes?

If you could give me a copy of your dslstats.ini file (with anything confidential removed) I can try to reproduce it on a Windows 8.1 system.

I will send it, but I think I have already diagnosed it.

.... I think I have already diagnosed it.

What were your conclusions? I have a similar issue – instant closure without warning the instant anything on the program's interface is touched :o

Windows 7, x64. Updated to 6.5.3 but this one is tricky. It sometimes doesn't happen until after several days of normal running.

But I also know, for a fact, that this problem goes back quite a long time – I guess I'm just a bit more focussed on it at the moment.

It was when 2 programs were trying to access the files dslstats writes at the same time.

The older version was more elegant and threw up a warning prompt whilst the newer version just silently crashed.

Mine was nothing to do with touching the interface.

 I've noticed on netstat that dslstats opens many telnet connection at once. However I suspect Netgear DGND3700v2 doesn't like many connections.

It does only use 1 telnet connection.

It opens telnet session.
It gathers the specified stats.
It closes the telnet session.

1 min later....

It opens telnet session.
It gathers the specified stats.
It closes the telnet session.

Your problem is your sample time is only about 15 seconds.
With older/slower modems this is too much.
Try increasing the sample time.
60 seconds is more than sufficient.

I sample stats every second but I haven't had this problem on D-Link DSL-2740B. Perhaps it would be good solution to open telnet session without closing it.

It's been discussed before, and I'm not going to do that. In my opinion, sampling every second is not sensible or helpful.

I've noticed on netstat that dslstats opens many telnet connection at once.

I sample stats every second.

1 second isn't sufficient time to gather stats even on the fastest systems.  I'm not surprised it shows as having multiple sessions open.   The next session(s) will be starting before the previous have finished.

No because there are several modems where it could become a problem because they only allow one open telnet session at a time.   
Some people use both DSLstats and HG612 stats and many times in the past it has caused issues if they both have telnet sessions open at the same time - which is why Eric had to code "HG612 stat compatibility" into DSLstats so that DSLstats' session would be finished before HG612 modem stats would open a session.  This is ignoring any manual telnet sessions where a user is logging in to change configs etc.   

Although I'm currently using a Zyxel VMG8324 on f/w that will allow more than one concurrent session,  I also have a few other modems which wont - such as a VMG8924 (which I should really put on because of the wifi).    How would it be fair to implement something which would cause problems for other modems just so that you can run every 1 second.    As mentioned by J0hn, every minute is more than sufficient to get a good overview of line health.

Why couldn't dslstats use the same telnet session  all the time? I understand it would cause problems if refresh rate is 30s (somebody couldn't log to telnet in this situation). But it would be helpful at 1s refresh rate.

Please stop your unreasonable behaviour right now.

DSLstats will not be modified to suit your requirements. I suggest that you write you own utility, then you can have every feature doing exactly what you require.

This thread is now locked.

I don't understand why my behaviour is unreasonable. I merely explain why kitz argumentation is unconvincing for me. Many people proposed additional features to DSLStats.

Because if implemented in the way you are requesting, it would cause problems for those who have modems which only allow 1 telnet session at a time of which there are quite a few.

As I explained that some of us run both DSLstats and HG612modem stats.   Eric had to specifically code something so that DSLstats session closed before HG612 stats ran..  otherwise they clashed and caused either DSLstats for HG612 stats to crash. Keeping the session open would mean that those who run HG612 stats would see frequent crashes and have no stats recorded.     

When it takes circa 7 seconds (perhaps longer on slower systems) to login and gather stats, then it is no wonder you're seeing multiple sessions if you are running every 1 second.

...  and Eric will usually do his best to add the feature if it is beneficial for all. 

What you are requesting is unreasonable.   I have no idea how many people run HG612 modem stats, nor how many people use DSLstats but for the later you are probably talking multiple hundreds of users.   
For the sake of you being able to run stats once per second..  there's a high probability that it would crash stats for a heck of a lot of other users.  :(
Stats once per min is sufficient to gauge line health.
