[mrtg] Re: startup on boot

[Paul C. Williamson]

Are you running MRTG as a daemon?  Or would you rather 
run it from Cron?  MRTG needs to be run every interval 
(usually 5 minutes), and I run mine from cron.

I think the format for putting it in cron is on the 
mrtg website.  If putting it in rc.local to 
runasdaemon, then I'm not as familiar with that.

I wonder if anyone can explain this :

I have mrtg running on my server, I have it running on a 
NetBSD box.

No I don't do anything cleaver, NetBSD has a rc.local file 
which is run on boot and it just loads the daemons

And I have my line to kickstart mrtg, I make sure I do a 
full path to app and a full path to conf file.

BUT I seem to be having problems when it goes to run 
scripts that I call from mrtg. It can't seem to run them.

when I do the line and start from the console it runs just 
fine.

The only thing I can think of is the permissions of the 
scripts, but they seem to be r and x for everyone, does 
mrtg need to change them? they wouldn't need to be w too 
would they?
