sure. it's entirely possible to do something like this. i can whip up a
quick shell script for you to do that.

sounds like you're running a red hat/fedora style machine. if you're
not, this script is probably not going to work.

apparently the windows guys all think you're running windows *sigh*

here's the script:



#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# Check that networking is up. It's not going to work otherwise.
[ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0

# Needs a valid configuration file.
CONFIGFILE=/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
DAEMON_PROG=/usr/bin/mrtg
RUNAS=root
PROG="mrtg"

[ -f $CONFIGFILE ] || exit 0

RETVAL=0

case "$1" in
   start)
      echo -n $"Starting $PROG: "
      daemon --user $RUNAS env LANG=C $DAEMON_PROG $CONFIGFILE
      RETVAL=$?
      [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/$PROG
      echo
      ;;
   stop)
      echo -n $"Shutting down $PROG: "
      killproc $PROG
      RETVAL=$?
      [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/$PROG
      echo
      ;;
   restart|reload)
      $0 stop
      $0 start
      RETVAL=$?
      ;;
   condrestart)
      if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/$PROG ]; then
         $0 stop
         $0 start
      fi
      RETVAL=$?
      ;;
   status)
      status $PROG
      RETVAL=$?
      ;;
   *)
      echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|condrestart|status}"
      exit 1
esac

exit $RETVAL



enjoy, hope this does the trick for you.
