[mrtg] Re: Stopping the Pop-up Windows in NT ?

[Chris Palmer]

I too had this problem at the start. Once the entries were made in the at 
scheduler a pop-up box appeared every five minutes and remained open upon 
completion.

The solution was very straightforward in my case. Modify the schedule 
service and remove the tick box for "Allow service to interact with 
desktop". The popups no longer appear.

This doesn't help if you have other scheduled events that you want to pop 
up, but it may assist you in your case as it did in mine.

If you schedule MRTG (2.8.12) to run every five minute and use the
/INTERACTIVE switch you will not get any pop ups.

Hi
We have been running mrtg for aprox 1 and a half years
on NT exclusively only in the start did we ever get and pop-ups
originally used the 5 minute script in the contrib and it worked well
have now gone to mrtg and rrdtool with 14all and nt-services from the
contrib directory
all work together very well ( and no pop-ups ), like yourself we only have
to monitor a few machines
15-20 these are dialups, routers, dedicated servers etc ( the norm nothing
special )
This is running on a 133 NT4 SP6 ,mrtg dedicated machine using between
5-15%cpu for the polls
have a look at stat.tik.com.au this is a quick and dirty ( must clean it
up ) howto i wrote for MYSELF
to get mrtg running ( more of a mind jogler than a howto )
Hope this helps a little
Bear
