[mrtg] Re: Help regarding Perl script

[Scott Howell]

Try using a cron....

Another alternative is to put an ampersand -->  &  <--  after the command on
the commandline..

ex.:
[user at server /home/user]# myscript.pl &

this will tell the kernel to spawn a seperate thread to handle this "task"


Good Luck...
-Scott
