[mrtg] Re: Problem with MRTG as service...

[Nigel Bowden]

Hi Luis,

You're not running MRTG with the 'RunAsDaemon' option are you ?

I wonder if you are starting a new instance of MRTG each time which keeps
running if you use this option.

It would maybe explain why you are using up all of your system resources.

Regards

Nigel.

or Firedaemon), everything works fine, the perl process is started every 5
minutes and the MRTG stats are updated , but after 3 days (without
restarting the server) i see that the server is HEAVY,.. when i log on and
use the system monitor i see that the perl process is using 100% of CPU and
32000k of memory (and increasing) and the perl process show that it's been
running for 32 Hours...
> If i started the MRTG 3 days ago, it should be 72 Hours.. so i supose that
it has been 32 hours since something happened that is not letting the perl
process finish.
