[mrtg] Re: Okay, Here is a question from an NT admin..

[Stieers, Ken]

Chris, 

Create two batch files:

One called MRTG.CMD and one called MRTGKICK.CMD


MRTG.CMD should look something like this:

:start
call mrtgkick
time /t
sleep 300
goto start

MRTGKICK should look something like this:

start "Corphub" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\corphub.cfg 
start "MPLEX2" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mplex2.cfg 
start "MPEXHUB1" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mpexhub1.cfg 
start "MPEXHUB3" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mpexhub3.cfg 
start "MPEXHUB4" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mpexhub4.cfg 
start "MPEXHUB5" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mpexhub5.cfg 
start "MENLOPARK01" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg
c:\mrtg\cfg\menlopark01.cfg 
start "Assentor" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\assentor.cfg

The start commands start a minimized window (/min) with the title specified
(the part in quotes) running the command you specify ( cmd /c perl
c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mrtg.cfg), and then continues. 

CMD /C command   starts the command specified and then dies, freeing all the
memory it reserved. 


Run the MRTG.CMD in a minimized window on your desktop and every 5 minutes
it will kick off all of the MRTG polls that you put in the MRTGKICK.CMD
file.  You'll see the 14 cmd windows open up and then disappear. 


HTH, 

Ken
