Are you running 80 separate instances of MRTG?! Sounds like you need to fix your configuration files and run just one instance of MRTG that handles all your machines. Check the documentation at http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-nt-guide.en.html for specifics but you should be able to build one master config file and run that. You can add or drop machines from the master config to fine tune your process. Include the RunAsDaemon flag and you won't get any command windows. I just run one instance of MRTG and that works just fine for logging 5 graphs for each of the machines (2 network interfaces, memory, cpu and load/process count) My master config file looks like: ### Global Config Options #MaxAge: 7200 RunAsDaemon: Yes WorkDir: c:\www\mrtg\ WriteExpires: Yes Options[_]: growright,pngdate XSize[_]: 600 YSize[_]: 175 EnableIPv6: no ## All machine configs moved to individual files Include: bigmachine01.cfg Include: bigmachine02.cfg Include: bigmachine03.cfg Include: bigmachine04.cfg Include: bigmachinedev-01.cfg Include: bigmachinedev-02.cfg Include: bigmachineqa-01.cfg Include: bigmachineqa-02.cfg #Include: oasis.cfg excluded for windows machine Include: winmachine-ntbk.cfg Include: winmachine-vs1.cfg Include: winmachine01.cfg Include: winmachine02.cfg Clyde PS, It is polite to delete unnecessary digest entries when you send to a mailing list. -- Clyde Jones Discovery Informatics Senior Operations Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exelixis Inc 650 837 7085 Office 650 465 3386 Cell This email (including any attachments) may contain material that is confidential and privileged and is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
