[mrtg] DOS popup boxes with external Perl Script

[michael rizk]

I have configured the MRTG cfg file to use an external Perl script to gather data as follows.
 

Target[db1-memory-availableBytes]:`perl c:\TheSpecializt\getlog2.pl Z:\DB1.CSV "\\DB1\Memory\Available Bytes"`

 

This works perfectly but what happens is it spawns a cmd session and a perl session for each device. So you could imagine when monitoring 15 devices each having 6 items being probed the number of DOS popup boxes that appears becomes quite annoying.

 

MRTG is setup to run as a daemon and is started as follows.

 

start /MIN /B /Dc:\mrtg-2.9.29\bin wperl mrtg --logging=eventlog C:\TheSpecializt\Client_Services\Utilisation_Graphs\TheSpecializt\Cfg\mrtg.cfg

 

As you can see I tried using the START command with the /MIN and /B switches no luck. I also tried sticking the START command and switches in the cfg file but also no luck.

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards,
