[mrtg] Re: Running MRTG as a service

[Joseph Pierini]

I use srvany.exe and instrv.exe from the resource kit to make MRTG run on
all my servers. 

Make sure your MRTG conf includes the line:
RunAsDaemon: Yes

Create a bat file with 1 line:
Perl mrtg mrtg.cfg

Save it to your MRTG \bin folder

Copy srvany.exe and instsrv.exe into the \winnt directory

Open a cmd window and type:
Instrv MRTG srvany

Modify this to your exact install point:

<REG File Start>

</REG FILE END>

Cut and paste that into a text file, save as MRTG.reg
Double click on the file and say yes to the import.

Go to services and change the startup account from System to an account with
Admin Rights
Start MRTG service.
