[mrtg] Re: FW: MRTG error

[Paul C. Williamson]

First off, figure out the time that MRTG is reporting when 
the data has been updated.  
Then look at the time on your box. 
It sounds like one mrtg is "leapfrogging" another one. 
 i.e. - you are not completing one sweep of collections 
before another one begins.  When the second one 
begins, it first checks for a lock file.   If it finds a lock, 
it moves on to the next one.  It is possible that it will get 
to an unlocked one before the process that started before 
it gets to it, and it processes that one.  Then the first mrtg 
comes along, and complains that the file in question has 
already been updated, with a later time than it has, so it 
spits out an error saying the file has already been updated.  

Makes perfect sense...

what happens if you keep running "mrtg file.cfg"?  Does the error message go
away after a few times?
