[mrtg] Re: MRTG and Threshold Parameters on NT...

[Kirk Rogers]

Alex,
That's the weird thing.  Everything works as individual commands.  I've been
able to get the bat file to work with the call to the perl program and use
the %1 %2 %3 DOS parameters to pass the variable to the perl program.
Also, I have a perl program as one of my targets within mrtg.cfg as:

Target:[test]: `c:\perl\progs\test.pl`

And it works just fine.  So I know its not a permissions problem, or any
type of access.  Do you have this working in your mrtg.cfg file?  Try it and
let me know if you do so I can see if I've done something wrong.

Thanks for the help,
Kirk

If it works with a bat file and not with a perl file, this most likely
has nothing to do with mrtg. Are you able to run the perl script from
the command line? Or from a bat file perhaps? Could there be a problem
with user rights? Are your PATH settings correct?

As a workaround: call a bat file from mrtg and let this bat file run
the perl script. When this works you can modify your bat file to see
where things go wrong.

Regards,
Alex
