Ken -

I changed your type of script just a little.

I found that by putting SLEEP 2 inbetween each of the starts, that it ran
better.

Something about all those tasks starting at once and NT trying to do that seemed
to cause problems.

When I added the SLEEP 2 it took the paging way down as well as helped them get
through the system .

And YES - to all those that wonder why you have the Start command with it going
away each time.  There is a memory leak in PERL that a long running task and NT
with PERL just do not play well in the same pool.  Having them start and stop
cleaned that up for me.

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
