"Get to the bottom of this" I'm not sure, but one thing
seems fishy.....

Since ls knows that "smokeping" is a defined username, and if ps
shows:

... then what's the "106" doing at the beginning of
that line? Are you trying to show that the smokeping process is
running as UID 106, and ps is unable to map that UID to a
username? Or some other reason the apache processes show a
username and the smokeping process doesn't?

Smokeping itself does not have an API you can query. However, with a
bit of work, you can have Smokeping trigger an external API when an
alert is triggered/raised/cleared. From the docs:*
to* /(mandatory setting)/
//Either an email address to send alerts to, or the name of a program to
execute when an alert matches. To call a program, the first character of
the *to* value must be a pipe symbol "|". The program will the be called
whenever an alert matches, using the following 5 arguments (except if
*edgetrigger* is 'yes'; see below): *name-of-alert*, *target*,
*loss-pattern*, *rtt-pattern*, *hostname*. You can also provide a comma
separated list of addresses and programs.

Hi Greg
I managed to fix the the issue by as you say giving www-data access to
the RRD files.
The problem is I don't want to have to do this for every RRD file that
is created.
Do you happen to have the link to the messages for mod'ing the startup
script?
Thanks for your help
NIck
