[mrtg] Re: mrtg.cfg file being truncated

[Brander, Eric]

Sounds like your cron job could have the wrong command line. Can you show us
the crontab line in question?  MRTG does not modify the config files when it
runs. Just a guess (and based on the lack if info here - a long shot at
best) you are running cfgmaker every 5 minutes, and not MRTG.

Subject: [mrtg] mrtg.cfg file being truncated


I had this working on an HP box but now I have a strange problem that I just
can't figure out.  I make my config usring cfgmaker and the result is placed
where I want by the script. 

 

-rw-------   1 root       sys          67539 Feb 27 11:44 mrtg.cfg

 

after the cron runs the first run this file some how trunkates to this.

 

-rw-------   1 root       sys            240 Feb 27 12:02 mrtg.cfg

 

All that is in that file is the header? The actuall config that sits south
of that is missing?

 

I cannot figure out why this is happening?
