Hi Alexis, I am running MRTG on windows with a cron job calling a batch file using perl.exe, not wperl.exe.
My cfg file looks like this at the start ------- begin cfg file ------- ### Global Config Options # for UNIX # WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg # Directory where to store the graphs (out put) # or for NT WorkDir: D:\Sambar\vhosts\yorktondigital\stats\system ### Target options are overriding the default options ### Global Defaults TimeStrPos[_]: RU TimeStrFmt[_]: %a %d %b %H:%M %Y Title[_]: :: Live Statistics at Yorkton-Digital :: Colours[_]: #228B22, #990033, #006600, #F02010 EnableIPv6: no RunAsDaemon: no # Interval: 5 Refresh: 300 -------- end sample ------ You will see that "Run as daemon: no" is set and "interval: 5" is not activated. Therefore I am using the cron job. If you don't have a cron utility for windows available, you can use "Windows scheduler", does the same job; calling the batch file every 5 minutes. And my simple batch file looks like this, just correct the path to your mrtg\bin folder. I am using Active Perl too. ------- begin batch file ------- D: cd mrtg\bin perl mrtg system.cfg --logging=system.txt ------- end batch file --------- Johannes > Hello Everyone, > > I've created a windows "service" for MRTG which loads cleanly but I cant seem > to > get "wperl" to load.
