[mrtg] Re: Illegal Seek

[Roth, Gabrielle]

Things to check when something runs from command line and not cron:
1.  Make sure you're using backticks (the ` that shares a key with ~) not
single quotes, assuming *nix system
2.  Use the absolute path to the script instead of a relative path.
3.  Check the script's permissions.
