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

[Woodcock, Bradford]

Hi Eric,

I believe it is read each time. I rebuild mine at will and rarely see a
blip in operation. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. And if
you were to use fork I'm not sure the answer would be the same though.

Cheers,
Woody...

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

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
