[mrtg] Re: forking details

You know you can pass the cfg as well as the log to 14all.  
That way you would not need to modify you scripts that 
much, would you?  That way, you can have multiple 
configs, but only call 14all with an added parameter, 
namely the name of the config file.

(I should have put this in the original message) but the reason
I don't want to run mulitple cfg files is because I use a java
appelate called alitree which makes calls to 14all.cgi to 
organize/display my mrtg pages.
It's considerably more complicated to add new devices, and organize
them in the tree if I have multiple config files, although now 
that the concept is being suggested, I'm thinking that may be the 
only way to go. It would also help with the speed & memory issues
I have with 14all.cgi and big cfg files.

Take a look at http://mrtg.gvolk.com for a (small) example of
mrtg+14all+alitree. It's really nice actually. I don't have 
the query time cycle problem with the above site because
it's so small. My big mrtg installation is at work, and is not 
publicly accessible.

Thanks for the replies.
