[mrtg] Re: MRTG time does not change

[Paul C. Williamson]

When you run it from the command line, do you get any errors?

Hi, Paul:

I did put 

RunAsDaemon: Yes 

in /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg file

But you remind me something: MRTG is really runnig?

then when I run:

ps -ef | grep mrtg, it shows

root  1175  1158  0 14:36 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mrtg

Is it running? how come it is not running, because I
said RunAsDaemon: Yes 

Also I did reboot this machine many times, it doesn't
help.

Any idea again? Thank you so much!
