[mrtg] Re: .cmd file angst

[Christian Terek]

Do a search through the articles for NT.  I had the same problem a while
back to the point where MRTG would even hang on me.  I think it was Ken
Stiers that answered my question.

He suggested using cmd.exe /c c:\perl... etc.  Something like that for every
CFG file.  After I did this it worked great, all the CMDs closed properly.

Sorry I can't be of any more help that that.  I'm not at work, otherwise I'd
send the cmd file I have as an example.
