[mrtg] Re: A Little Off Topic : MRTG as a Service on Win2K

[Jerry Heidtke]

I use a cron service to launch different instances of mrtg at five
minute intervals. I have 18 different config files, 3-4 of which are
launched every minute. Each config is kept small enough that these
instances normally finish in less than minute, even if one of the
devices is unreachable. This process all works fine, doesn't put to much
of a load on the mrtg server, and if I make a change to a config or even
add a new device it gets automatically picked up the next time cron
invokes it.

This question might be a little off topic......

I am running MRTG with RRD on a Win2K box.  MRTG works just fine and I
use
Routers2.cgi for display.

I use the Resource Kit tools INSTSRV & SRVANY to create a service for
each
.cfg I need MRTG to look at.  The problem lies in the fact that each
instance of PERL and SRVANY require almost 10MB of RAM.......this
dramatically limits the number of devices I can monitor.  I guess my
question is, is there a way to make MRTG read multiple .cfg files on a
single command line?
