[mrtg] Re: mrtg-2.9.4 on winNT

[Thomas Brian Granier]

For every target you have configured in the mrtg.cfg file rateup will
execute. This is just the execution of rateup to generate the pictures.
That's why it's happening.. as for how to make it not do that the
process would have to be configured for non interactive. This could
probably be done from within the mrtg script. I recommend removing the
Daemon configuration and replacing it with a batch file that calls mrtg
and then sleep for 5 minutes and then recalls itself.

Subject: [mrtg] mrtg-2.9.4 on winNT



I'm running mrtg 2.9.4 on a Windows NT Server 4.0, pulling information
off a
Cisco router.  The problem is this:

The job is started as suggested in the winNT mrtg documentation, a batch
file in the StartUp folder with the following line:

    start /B perl e:\mrtg-2.9.4\bin\mrtg e:\mrtg-2.9.4\bin\mrtg.cfg

and the standard <RunAsDaemon: yes> line is inserted into the mrtg.cfg
file.
Unfortunately, every five minutes a series of ms-dos command windows
parades
across the screen.  The title bar says <e:\mrtg-2.9.4\bin\rateup.exe>.
Does
anybody know why this happens?

 Thanks in advance!
