Hello,
Until there is a fix for the NTOP segmentation fault problem,
I though others might need this work around that I am using.
It is a simple little 'C' program I coded to re-start NTOP if the
"ntop caught signal" serror message is found.

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define BUFSIZE 80
/*
Change the next three lines to match
your start/stop process and the error message
which will re-start the process
*/
#define PROCESS_START "ntop -i \"eth0,eth1,eth2\" -u ntop -P /temp"
#define PROCESS_ERROR_MSG "ntop caught signal"
#define PROCESS_KILL "ps -ef | grep \"ntop \" | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }' |
xargs kill -9"
int main() {
FILE *read_fp;
char buffer[BUFSIZE + 1];
int chars_read;
while (1) {
system(PROCESS_KILL);
memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(buffer));
printf("\n%s\n\n",PROCESS_START);
read_fp = popen(PROCESS_START, "r");
if (read_fp != NULL) {
chars_read = fread(buffer, sizeof(char), BUFSIZE, read_fp);
while (chars_read > 0) {
buffer[chars_read] = (char)'\0';
printf("%s", buffer);
if (strstr(buffer,PROCESS_ERROR_MSG) != NULL) break;
chars_read = fread(buffer, sizeof(char), BUFSIZE, read_fp);
}
/* normally we would need the pclose but we ignore it here to avoid hang-up
since we will kill the process anyway
*/
// pclose(read_fp);
}
}
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
