[mrtg] Re: MRTG NT

[Stieers, Ken]

On NT, you need to put the call to perl on the command line. ie. 

Target[]: `c:\perl\perl.exe c:\mrtg\scripts\script.pl'


You might want to create a cmd file instead and do something like this:

REM all one line
start /min cmd /c c:\perl\perl.exe c:\perl\perl.exe
c:\mrtg\scripts\script.pl 

exit
