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

[johnattan c.p.]

Over all these, I want to say sth also. At the beginning of using MRTG as a newbie, everyone wants to do that job in a quick and comprehensive way and this makes NT the first OS, because unix is more complex and you must do additional operations on apache web server to work well. Than, that person sees the perfect way of monitoring via MRTG and begins to monitor several machines, but mrtg works with several perls for several machines and this makes a pop-up screen saver :-) But thanx to that list, everyone helps other as much as he (or she, meanwhile isn't there any woman in this world ???) can do and every day at least one newbie comes here. So as I have learned from these, I will suggest you to use "include" command and "mrtgscheduler" program only, for all of them, so mrtg will be run as a service once for all your .cfg files and you will see no other pop-up screen saver ;-))) if anyone have another better choice please share it...
have a nice work all.... and do not forget this please:

  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
