You could make it a service:

Create a batch file called mrtg.bat with the following line:
perl mrtg mrtg.cfg 

Save it in your MRTG \bin folder

Save the following to a text file called mrtg.reg (Modify the Application
and AppDirectory lines to reflect your actual installation directory):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRTG]
"Type"=dword:00000010
"Start"=dword:00000002
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"ImagePath"=hex(2):73,00,72,00,76,00,61,00,6e,00,79,00,00,00

"ObjectName"="LocalSystem"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRTG\Parameters]
"Application"="D:\\mrtg-2.9.27\\bin\\mrtg.bat"
"AppDirectory"="D:\\mrtg-2.9.27\\bin\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRTG\Security]
"Security"=hex:01,00,14,80,a0,00,00,00,ac,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,0

05,12,00,00,00,74,00,69,00,00,00,1c,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,\
 
20,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,76,00,65,00,00,00,18,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,\
 
00,00,05,0b,00,00,00,20,02,00,00,00,00,1c,00,fd,01,02,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,\
 
00,05,20,00,00,00,23,02,00,00,76,00,65,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,\
  00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00

Double click on the file to import it in your registry.

Obtain the resource kit files instsrv.exe and srvany.exe and save them to
your \winnt directory

Open a command window and type:
instsrv MRTG srvany

Open Services and start the new MRTG service. If you use WMI scripts you
will need to change the startup user to a local administrator account.

Your mrtg.conf file must contain the line "RunAsDaemon: Yes" for the service
to run every 5 minutes.

Good luck!

You can put the .exe in the startup folder

Does anyone have a good way to auto-start mrtg (wperl) when the Windows
2003 Server that it's running on is restarted?
