What about a few 'master config' files only containing some basic setup and
'include: ..' statements to all your existing config files?
In this way you only need to start your master config files.
HTH,

Subject: [mrtg] MRTG Daemon at Startup with hundreds of configs
Hi there,
I'm looking at a project to switch a server that is using MRTG to
monitor hundreds of devices over to running MRTG in daemon mode, for
efficiency. As one could infer, there are hundreds of config files to go along
with those hundreds of devices. Since MRTG has to be started once for each
config, I'm trying to develop a Linux startup script that will execute all of
the configs. I will copy/paste the startup script I'm currently working with.
Does anyone have any idea how to change this to make it start up all of the
configs? It may be an easy answer, but I'm very fresh on shell scripting and
have spent hours searching for this info, to no avail. Please help!
Thanks in advance for any advice or help you may provide...here is the
startup script I found....
#!/bin/bash
#
# mrtg This shell script starts mrtg
