[mrtg] Re: Running MRTG as services

[Anthony Valuikas]

This is the NT ResKit way. *Must have the reskit loaded.

Install MRTG to run as a Service

Look at Q137890 to install MRTG to run as a service. More or less the below
is what it says.

Logon to the Server.
Click Start, Run and enter in CMD then click OK.
Change directory to D:\Program Files\Resource Kit>
To create a Windows NT user-defined service, perform the following steps:

1. At the MS-DOS command prompt(running CMD.EXE), type the following
command:
D:\Program Files\Resource Kit>d:\progra~1\resour~1\instsrv.exe MRTGService
d:\progra~1\resour~1\srvany.exe

where <path> is the drive and directory of the Windows NT Resource Kit
(i.e., C:\RESKIT) and <My Service> is the name of the service you are
creating.
You should see the conformation message below.

The service was successfully added!

Make sure that you go into the Control Panel and use
the Services applet to change the Account Name and
Password that this newly installed service will use
for its Security Context.

D:\Program Files\Resource Kit>

** NOTE:
If this is to be configured in a cluster environment then the Above Q137890
must be run on the other Cluster Server as well.
**

2. Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe)and locate the following subkey:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRTGService

3. From the Edit menu, click Add Key.

   Key Name: Parameters
   Class : <leave blank>

   Type the following and click OK:

4. Select the Parameters key.

5. From the Edit menu, click Add Value.

   Value Name: Application
   Data Type : REG_SZ
   and click OK.

>From the String Editor dialog enter in the String :
"d:\\mrtg\\bin\\mrtg1.cmd" and click OK.

   where <path>\<application.ext> is the drive and full path to the
  application executable including the extension (i.e.,
C:\WinNT\Notepad.exe)

mrtg1.cmd is a batch file:
d:\perl\bin\perl f:\mrtg\bin\mrtg f:\mrtg\bin\mrtgsrv.cfg


6. Close Registry Editor.

 Editor.

Reboot the server.

This may sound like a dumm question.  How do I run MRTG .cfg files as
services on a "Win2K  Proffessional" machine.  I had the instructions but
don't know what I did with it.
