To get the task to run minimzied try the following:

1.  Create a batch file called MRTGKICK.BAT that has the command lines to
run each instance of MRTG similar to this:

start "Corphub" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\corphub.cfg 
sleep 2
start "MPLEX2" /min cmd /c perl c:\mrtg\run\mrtg c:\mrtg\cfg\mplex2.cfg 

2.  Set the command line in the scheduler to something like this:
	Start "MRTGKICK OFF" /min c:\mrtg\mrtgkick.bat

START is an NT command.  Type HELP START at a command prompt for the syntax.

HTH, 


Ken
