[mrtg] Re: lockfile messages?

[Daniel R. Kilbourne]

your cronjob is most likely taking longer than 5 minutes to complete, 
therefore mrtg is trying to run a new process while the old process is 
still active. I'd recommend either chopping up your config into 2 smaller 
ones or checking out any latency issues
