[mrtg] Re: MRTG and mailstats

[Woodcock, Bradford]

Just a thought. Ensure the first line of mailstats points to a valid
file. For example "#!/usr/local/bin/perl". I don't have mailstats in
front of me so that is just an example. That error may potentially be
caused from within mailstats so double check the shebang line points to
something valid. Have you tried running it manually from the mrtg run
account?

Cheers,

This isn't really helpful for me.  "getexternal('mailq') or whatever" is
going to be the same in any other MRTG 2.10.11  There's nothing special
about mine.  I don't have anything special... I literally just installed
MRTG from the tarball and that's it.

Again, the problem...

[joliver at ns joliver]$ sudo /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg
/usr/local/etc/mailstats.conf
Can't exec "/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats": No such file or directory
at /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg line 1666.
WARNING: Running '/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats': No such file or

WARNING: Could not get any data from external command
'/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats'
Maybe the external command did not even start. (No such file or
directory)

/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats absolutely does exist:

[joliver at ns joliver]$ ls -l /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         2589 Dec  7 20:21
/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mailstats


How can I fix this?
