[mrtg] Re: MRTG instances

[Ni Patrick-A11024]

I upgraded my MRTG from 2.8.12 to 2.9.0 and I am happy with 
the new version. The problem is gone, old .cfg files could
be used, forks option can be used and configuration work seems
easier. 

Some (i did not test all) per target parameters can be placed
at where global parameters are placed, like "perminute".

Hmm.  Actually the problem isn't the number of cfg files.  It relates to
the fact that one in question has not completed before it is invoked
again.  I get that error all day long and i have my mrtg running every
10 minutes because of the sheer number of interfaces and the fact that
it is running on a very slow linux server.

Some people claim that the UNIX learning curve is steep,
but at least you only have to climb it once.
