[mrtg] Re: Help/Ext. Script : Could not get any data from ext erna l command

[Derek Winkler]

Is the script executable at all?
Could you include an ls -l of /etc/mrtg/ping.sh?

Looks like the mrtg user doesn't have execute permission on that script.


Yes, but this is strange as mrtg is running in the root account.
crontab:
0-59/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg

It should have all the rights to execute any scripts.

Any clue why its not working?
