[mrtg] Re: mrtg runtime

[Repucci, John (STP)]

See the following cron job that we run.  It sends timing output to the
CVS-runtime file.  ( See below for an example of that as well. )
We have about 8 cron jobs that kick off for the various sets of devices that
we are monitoring ( organized by world region, generally ).  By examining
each of the runtime files, we can determine how long each cron job is
taking.  

The disadvantage of this method is that every so often you have to "cp
/dev/null CVS-runtime" to clear the logs as they grow quite large.  I
generally let them get to about 3 meg each before I get around to clearing
them.  I do have a batch file to clear them and I suppose I could cron that
as well, but being lazy ....  :-)
