[Naresh Cherukuri]

hello ,

This is the script I am using  and working fine. 

#!/bin/sh
# description: Cisco router Mrtg

case "$1" in
'start')
# delete Pid file
 rm /var/www/html/mrtg/cisco/cisco.pid

# start Mrtg perl <mrtgpath> <cfg file path>
  perl /usr/bin/mrtg /var/www/html/mrtg/cisco/cisco.cfg
 touch /var/lock/subsys/Cisco2mrtg
 ;;
'stop')
 rm /var/www/html/mrtg/cisco/cisco.pid
 rm -f /var/lock/subsys/Cisco2mrtg
 ;;
*)
 echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
 ;;
esac
exit 0
