http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-nt-guide.en.html with: ------------------------------------ How to install mrtg as a windows service: 1. Download NSSM http://nssm.cc/download/?page=download 2. Unzip the suitable nssm.exe binary into desired folder 3. Run following command in cmdline window: nssm.exe install mrtg-traffic_monitor "c:\Perl\bin\wperl.exe" "c:\monitoring\config\traffic_monitor.cfg" where: Replace "mrtg-traffic_monitor" with your custom service name Replace "c:\Perl\bin\wperl.exe" with full path to wperl binary Replace "c:\monitoring\config\traffic_monitor.cfg" with full path to your config file 5. If you want to see a service description in the 'services.msc' console: Go to regedit HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<service_name> section, create new String value named Description and put your service description into 'Value data' field: but this is not mandatory. To remove service from your system, type following command: nssm remove mrtg-traffic_monitor -------------------------------- Reasons: - NSSM handle error situations much better than srvany - Easier install and remove services - Fully scriptable, suitable for install automation Personally run mrtg on NSSM (on Win2k3) for 4 years with full satisfaction.
