[mrtg] Re: mrtg restart problems

[Bowler, Michael]

James,
Try checking the log file --logging <path-to>/<logfile>.  If the process is
dying right away, it usually means MRTG ran into something it didn't like.

Subject: [mrtg] mrtg restart problems


I am running redhat linux.  I have been using mrtg and snmpd to monitor
several cisco routers for years.  Some time mrtg died, now I can not restart
it.  I am running it as a daemon.
 

I have tried stopping snmpd, which appears to happen normally.  It also
restarts normally and can be seen in ps -ax.

 

Stopping mrtg results in a failure and mrtg.pid and /var/lock/subsys/mrtg
remain.

 

I remove both and attempt to start mrtg and it appears to start normally but
immediately is dead again.

 

Mrtg status results in:

mrtg dead but subsys locked

 

I don't get what has happened that I can't restart the darn thing.

 

Please help.
