<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Actually, I've seen the same behaviour
when trying to run MRTG as a daemon. It appears to run but the RRD
files are not updated. And it isn't a permissions issue; the daemon
is running with the same permissions as when I run MRTG as a cron job.
The minute I switch back to cron the RRD files start to get updated.
I don't know if this makes a difference (I wouldn't think it would)
but I am running Solaris 8 x86. Really strange.</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>If the RRD files are not being updated, then check
permissions on them (make sure they are writeable to the user the MRTG
runs as) and check for error output from the MRTG command. Run it
interactively as the appropriate user or make sure it redirects the stderr
and stdout output into a file for viewing; maybe there is a helpful error
message in there. No RRD updates means MRTG is not running correctly.<br>
