[mrtg] Re: lock file in 2.9.4

[Tobias Oetiker]

Yesterday you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] lock file in 2.9.4:

RB> 
RB> in older versions of mrtg, when run as daemon, it would test for and

RB> every hour in case the puppy died.
RB> 
RB> 2.9.4 seems not to lock, so the cron job creates a lot of mrtgs which

it locks but only during its active periode ... but check for the
mrtg.pid file
