at Startup with hundreds of configs<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi there,<BR><BR>I'm
looking at a project to switch a server that is using MRTG to monitor hundreds
of devices over to running MRTG in daemon mode, for efficiency. As one could
infer, there are hundreds of config files to go along with those hundreds of
devices. Since MRTG has to be started once for each config, I'm trying to
develop a Linux startup script that will execute all of the configs. I will
copy/paste the startup script I'm currently working with. Does anyone have any
idea how to change this to make it start up all of the configs? It may be an
easy answer, but I'm very fresh on shell scripting and have spent hours
searching for this info, to no avail. Please help! <BR><BR>Thanks in advance
for any advice or help you may provide...here is the startup script I
found....<BR><BR><BR><PRE class=alt2 dir=ltr style="BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset; PADDING-RIGHT: 6px; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; PADDING-LEFT: 6px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 6px; MARGIN: 0px; OVERFLOW: auto; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; WIDTH: 640px; PADDING-TOP: 6px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; HEIGHT: 498px; TEXT-ALIGN: left">#!/bin/bash<BR>#<BR># mrtg This shell script starts mrtg<BR>#<BR># Author: Stefan SF <BR>#<BR># chkconfig: 345 90 35<BR>#<BR># description: mrtg The Multi Router Traffic Grapher<BR># processname: mrtg<BR>
