[mrtg] Re: AW: How To run as Daemon

[Jason Truong]

Michel,

Thanks for this email...
I was trying to figure out the best way to run MRTG as a daemon...you wouldn't believe it but I have live close to 20 daemons running...one for each cfg file...
So I can just have one daemon and in my mrtg.cfg file, specify:

Include: /etc/mrtg/router1.cfg
Include: /etc/mrtg/switch1.cfg
etc 

Let me give it a shot...

jason

Hi Jonathan
MRTG got the option to run as a Daemon, its easier to use the option then
create a script on your own.

Create a global configuration file with options you want have for all
configurations, then add the RunAsDaemon option and the Fork. In your case
this would kinda look like this:

Interval: 5
Forks: 4
Refresh: 300
RunAsDaemon: Yes

Include: /home/mrtg/cfg/router01.cfg
Include: /home/mrtg/cfg/router02.cfg
Include: /home/mrtg/cfg/router03.cfg

then just start mrtg with your global configfile and you got your daemon.
greets

Michel
