[mrtg] Re: .cmd file angst

[Stieers, Ken]

Have your scheduler call a bat file with command lines like this:

START CMD /C C:\PERL\PERL.EXE c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mrtg.cfg


START	starts the CMD session in its own memory space, /C tells CMD to die
after it runs the command that follows. 


HTH, 

Ken

good morning :)
(yeah, i know, it's monday :(

I am using a service called mrtgsrv to run a mrtg.cmd file every 5 minutes.

this file looks like this:

C:\BIN\PERL.EXE C:\MRTG\MRTG C:\MRTG\total-bandwidth.cfg
C:\BIN\PERL.EXE C:\MRTG\MRTG C:\MRTG\port-useage.cfg

when i run it from the command line it does what it's supposed to.
same if i hit enter on it in filemanager.

however, letting the service do it, every 5 minutes it
adds a cmd.exe process in task manager.

right now task manager is showing

image name   PID      CPU     CPU Time     Mem Useage

cmd.exe      284      01      0:00:00      1004k
cmd.exe      257      00      0:00:00      404k
cmd.exe      264      00      0:00:00      44k
cmd.exe      274      00      0:00:00      44k
cmd.exe      277      00      0:00:00      44k
cmd.exe      276      00      0:00:00      44k



it looks like it's not exiting the mrtg.cmd file cleanly.
anyone have any ideas? killing all the processes every
morning is starting to be annoying..

thanks,
