[mrtg] Re: MRTG on Win2K _without_ pop-ups?

[David Sawyer]

I was also annoyed with those boxes popping up every 5 mins so I created a
little program to stop it, plus a few extra things thrown in for good
measure.

Go to http://www.geocities.com/mrtg_daemon/ to find out more.

If you have the 'RunAsDaemon: Yes' option in your config then remove it.

There are other utils out there that will also stop the DOS boxes popping
up, but mine is the only one that will allow you to change the polling time
and the mrtg script without having to stop the Perl process.
