[mrtg] Re: ping-probe problem

Wed Sep 3 18:44:41 MEST 2003

It woked with mrtg-ping-probe 2.1.0 BUT I remember that I ran
mrtg-ping-probe with below configuration at 6:00pm and MRTG showed
information at 11:00pm, and many processes is in memory (crond, mrtg, perl,
ping) and every time they multiplie until the memory is saturated and the
system is hung:
