[mrtg] Re: AW: Help regarding Perl script

[Michael Marziani]

That's a great solution, but a better one is to run MRTG through cron or
as a daemon (the two ways suggested in the setup docs).  I prefer
daemonizing  :)

Hi Shujaat
How do you start your Perlscript?

Do you use a "&" in the command line?

like:

perl yourscript.pl &

This will force the script to run in the background so you dont have to
keep a telnet session open. Greets

Betreff: [mrtg] Help regarding Perl script


Hi All

I am running mrtg2.9.12 on Solaris platform. I am running .cfg files by
using Perl script which is given below:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$interval=120;
while(1)
{ sleep ($interval - time() % $interval);
system '/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/conf/mrtg.cfg';
system '/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/conf/mrtg2.cfg';
}

But whenever I exit from Telnet session the script becomes stopped.
Everytime I have to go on Server's Console & start the script. Is there
anyway to get rid of such a hectic situation ??? Immediate response will
be highly appreciable.....!

Thanks 'n' regards,
Shujaat Nazir Khan
