[mrtg] problem with the cron exec

[Lingegowda, Nagesh (Consultant)]

Hello,

My mrtgcron crated by the mrtg with the *cfg  file is as follows.


#This file runs the MRTG for each config
/usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg/file
cd /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg
/opt/OV/bin/Perl/bin/perl /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg/mrtg
lucy.cfg
/opt/OV/bin/Perl/bin/perl /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg/mrtg
ricky2.cfg
/opt/OV/bin/Perl/bin/perl /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg/mrtg
wg2-msfc.cfg
# Additional commands could go here. Under NT the next line won't return
./buildht
# End of rebuild ht file

If i run mrtgcron from the command line its updating the html and index file
in their respective directory
like lucy-day.png, lucy.index file  but if I call this from the cron its
making the index file ( eg .lucy.index file to zero size)
and also not updating the other files. But if I look at the cron log , its
executing the command.

cron entry is

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50 * * * *
/usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.20/contrib/ovmrtg/mrtgcron >
/var/opt/OV/log/mrtg/log 2>&1

I can see fro every five mins, cron is calling the command. but its making
the index file to zero size without affecting the other files

ls - l  listing as follows
