[mrtg] Data corruption

[Doug Hardie]

I have been running mrtg on a collection of devices for some time. 
For a number of reasons, the work directory needed to be moved.  So, 
I shutdown the cron entries for mrtg, moved the directory, updated 
the work directories in the cfg files and restarted the cron entries.

However, the individual device data got scrambled.  There is a date 
about 3 months ago from which all the data is correct.  The data 
before that is from another device.  Since each device's data is 
stored in a separate log file I am at a loss to explain how this 
happened.  Its as if the last half of the data files got switched 
around.

I suspect that tomorrow I will have to shut down mrtg again and go 
manually move the log data back into the right files, but this is 
bothersome.
