Actually, I've seen the same behaviour when trying to run MRTG as a daemon. It appears to run but the RRD files are not updated. And it isn't a permissions issue; the daemon is running with the same permissions as when I run MRTG as a cron job. The minute I switch back to cron the RRD files start to get updated. I don't know if this makes a difference (I wouldn't think it would) but I am running Solaris 8 x86. Really strange.

If the RRD files are not being updated, then check permissions on them (make sure they are writeable to the user the MRTG runs as) and check for error output from the MRTG command. Run it interactively as the appropriate user or make sure it redirects the stderr and stdout output into a file for viewing; maybe there is a helpful error message in there. No RRD updates means MRTG is not running correctly. Steve _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
