1. Make sure you've done 'make install' - IIRC the script in the build directory doesn't like the @ 2. Try using a --, e.g.
ntop -- @.... Some shells eat things, quote them, glob them, etc. but the -- is a flag to just pass the rest on to the caller. FWIW, the cvs version works fine: # /usr/bin/ntop @/etc/ntop.conf Processing file /etc/ntop.conf for parameters... 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 ntop v.2.2.96 MT (SSL) [i686-pc-linux-gnu (redhat Linux 8.0)] (11/03/03 11:59:28 AM build) [MSGID8872467] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Copyright 1998-2003 by Luca Deri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [MSGID0836131] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Get the freshest ntop from http://www.ntop.org/ [MSGID0260707] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Initializing ntop [MSGID0230749] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Initializing IP services [MSGID9325128] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Initializing network devices [MSGID8679944] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Default device is 'eth0' [MSGID1018024] 04/Nov/2003 07:38:35 Adding network device eth0 [MSGID0059920] -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ciprian Badescu Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 6:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Help using @filename parameter Hi, I have the same problem, and the workaround is to use at least one parameter from the command line. -- ______V______ Ciprian Badescu On Mon, 3 Nov 2003, Naman Latif wrote: > Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2003 15:37:36 -0800 > From: Naman Latif <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Ntop] Help using @filename parameter > > Hi, > I am having problems trying to use the @filename paramter.I am using > NTOP version 2.2c on Suse 8.2 > > ntop @ntop-config --> comes up with error as shown below > > ravi:/etc # ls -l ntop-config > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Nov 3 15:12 ntop-config > ravi:/etc # > ravi:/etc # > ravi:/etc # ntop @ntop-config > Wait please: ntop is coming up... > FATAL ERROR: unable to open configuration file '@ntop-config' > ravi:/etc # > > Regards \\ Naman > > _______________________________________________ > Ntop mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop > > _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
