If perl exists in /usr/local why do you have #!/usr/bin/perl in your script? What happens when you do prog-to-run ARG1 ARG2 ARG3
Does /usr/bin/perl actually exist? -----Original Message----- From: xzhao2 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 11:51 AM To: Gavin Hamill; mrtg Subject: [mrtg] Re: perl script cannot be executed by MRTG Thanks. I already made prog-to-run executable for everyone. When I run MRTG, it says there are some syntax errors in the script, at the same time, MRTG generates a *.maxO file in ThreshDir. If I run MRTG again, no error. If I delete the *.maxO temporary file in ThreshDir and run MRTG again, it mentions the same syntax error. Still, MRTG is not treating the script as perl. By the way, perl exists in /usr/local. No problem with that. TIA.
