[mrtg] Lockfile problem

[Jan Rockstedt]

Hi !

I am running the mrtg every 5 min.
*/5 * * * * mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log

Every 15 min. i get mail about a lockfile. "see below"

I am checking three cisco router's in the same mrtg.cfg file.

Any sugestion of my problem ?

ERROR: I guess another mrtg is running. A lockfile (/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg_l) aged
0 seconds is hanging around. If you are sure that no other mrtg
is running you can remove the lockfile
