[mrtg] mrtg showing very high cpu usage cause of other app running

[Ross Tsolakidis]

Hi all,
I'm running awstats (web statistics app) every 5 mins using crontab, its
doing about 10 sites. During the query it pretty much hits the cpu to
about 90%, which is ok as it only lasts about 20 secs.

The problem is I also run MRTG every 5 mins, and MRTG is graphing every
5 mins, so my box looks like its always at 90% cpu :(

A couple of questions, some a little OT.

1) is there a way to run my crontab more effectively ?

my crontab currently:
0-55/5 * * * * root /home/rosst/mrtg/scripts/run-mrtg.sh >>
/var/log/mrtg/crontab
0-55/5 * * * * root /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=bnbc -update >>

2) Is there a way to get crontab to pause a job until all others are
done ?


Thanks all :)
