Jon,
   Thanks for the quick response.  However, if I log off the machine,
will the processes terminate?  In addition, how do you call your file
without the .cfg extension.  Please advise.  Thanks!

I have one file that call all for all my cfg files, In my batch file I
have

Perl c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\mrtg\config\mrtg (I don't
have an extension on this file)

In the mrtg file I have

Workdir: c:\mrtgdata\
LogFormat: rrdtool
PathAdd: c:\rddtool\perl-shared
RunAsDaemon:Yes 
Interval: 5
Refresh: 300
WithPeak[_]: ymwd
Options[_]: growright, bits, unknaszero

Include: C:\mrtgdata\mrtg1.cfg
Include: C:\mrtgdata\mrtg2.cfg
Include: C:\mrtgdata\mrtg3.cfg
And so on.

That way you only have one perl.exe running on the system

Subject: Spam Filter:[mrtg] Setting up MRTG as a Windows Service

Hello,
   I just got the new version of mrtg-2.11.1 installed.  Thanks
Tobias!
 However I am having a bit of a problem with setting up MRTG as a
windows service.  
   Apparently I have MRTG running fine as a service with one entry in
the mrtg.bat file.  However, if you add more than one command line in
the mrtg.bat file (please see example below), the MRTG service will
only
execute one at a time.  Therefore, if I have a mrtg.bat file as such:


perl c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\mrtg\config\mrtg.cfg perl
c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\mrtg\config\mrtg2.cfg perl
c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\mrtg\config\mrtg3.cfg

The MRTG service will only invoke the first mrtg.cfg file.  HOWEVER,
if
you stop the MRTG service and restart it again, it will execute the
second one.  And so on.  Is there any way the mrtg.bat file can
execute
several .cfg files at once instead of starting and stopping a service.

Please advise.  Thanks!
