[Kevin Wong]

Troy, thanks for the hint.  I am running it on Windows and I can't seem
to cross reference that.  Anyone else??

If you are running in cron, you can adjust your interval.  In the  
example below, I am running a query every 2 minutes.

*/2 *	* * *	root	if [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ] && [ -r /etc/mrtg/ 
mrtg_haze.cfg ]; then env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg_haze.cfg

Peace, Troy
