[mrtg] Re: question about mrtg daemon

[kelsey hudson]

oh yeah, you have to put that script in /etc/init.d -- i called it 
something like mrtg-daemon

then you can do:

service mrtg-daemon (start|stop|restart) etc.

if you want it to start at boot time add symbolic links to /etc/rcX.d 
where X is the runlevel into which you boot your machine. the symbolic 
links have the format:  SXXmrtg-daemon where XX is the order of 
precedence for this daemon. you most definitely want it after SXXnetwork 
... I'd run it as S98mrtg-daemon (but that's just me).

you'll also want to add symlinks K02mrtg-daemon to /etc/rc0.d and 
/etc/rc6.d (so mrtg gets killed when you reboot/halt the machine).

enjoy.
