How to permanently disable bwmon?

[maxwolfie]

I have seen the instructions elsewhere but they were too technical (I have practically zero Linux experience).

Could someone please post a step by step guide for a Windows user?

Install the Webshell plug-in
Send the following commands

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle stop
/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle disable

/etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle disable

Is that permanent though or only until restart?

[Lantis]

“stop” is until you “start” it again, or reboot
“disable” prevents auto start

Hence you should send both

Even after doing both, if I change any settings the bwmon turns back on?

[Lantis]

If you make changes to the Bandwidth page, or to QoS, yes it will start again.
I don’t know if there are any others. If you have an example I can check.

Disabling it worked thank you.

I will miss the pretty charts and graphs prefer if to just write to ram if possible.

[Lantis]

Why do you only want to write to RAM?

Hi it's to save unnecessary writing and causing wear on the limited lifespan flash.

Once a router is configured properly I usually will not write to it again for months or years.

I might peak at the charts if things slow down. They are in a commercial environment so prefer maximum reliability.
