Hi Eric, I believe it is read each time. I rebuild mine at will and rarely see a blip in operation. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. And if you were to use fork I'm not sure the answer would be the same though.

I've split up the devices into 6 different "master" configs and everything is working much better now. Thanks to everyone who replied. I have one more question. Do the files get read each interval or is it just the first time? The reason I'm asking is I wondered, by using the master file, if it were possible to just replace the config without stopping and restarting MRTG each time. I noticed I no longer have a lock file for each one. Thanks! Eric -----Original Message----- From: Cornwell, Eric J.

We currently monitor close to 100 devices with one Windows 2K PC. Each device has its own config file. I have a bat file that runs and starts each config the following way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- start /B wperl mrtg (RouterName).cfg --logging MRTG_Routers.log echo (RouterName) has been started. sleep 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Each device is offset by 7 seconds to help spread everything out. My problem is that with 100 wperl.exe processes running they eat up all the available memory. Is there a better way to start MRTG than this or am I just going to have to live with it? Thanks!
