[mrtg] Re: Help regarding Perl script

[Browett, Darren]

The best method would to daemonize mrtg, next use cron to 
schedule and third to use "nohup mrtg ..... > somelogfile &"

For the third case, to keep MRTG running after you log off (or terminate
your telnet session)
you must use "nohup".  By simply using & will through the job into the
background
but will die when you terminate your session.

Subject: [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
