[mrtg] Re: Starting MRTG - There has to be a better way...

[Cornwell, Eric J.]

Hello Again!

I've split up the devices into 6 different "master" configs and everything
is working much better now.  Thanks to everyone who replied.  I have one
more question.  Do the files get read each interval or is it just the first
time?  The reason I'm asking is I wondered, by using the master file, if it
were possible to just replace the config without stopping and restarting
MRTG each time.  I noticed I no longer have a lock file for each one.

Thanks!
Eric

Subject: [mrtg] Starting MRTG - There has to be a better way...

Hello Everyone!

We currently monitor close to 100 devices with one Windows 2K PC.  Each
device has its own config file.  I have a bat file that runs and starts
each
config the following way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
start /B wperl mrtg (RouterName).cfg  --logging MRTG_Routers.log
echo (RouterName) has been started.
sleep 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each device is offset by 7 seconds to help spread everything out.  My
problem is that with 100 wperl.exe processes running they eat up all the
available memory.  Is there a better way to start MRTG than this or am I
just going to have to live with it?

Thanks!
Eric
