Hey all! I have an issue that I thought I would present to the group here. When I startup ntop (I use an rc script) with -d, I get no data. When I start with & I get data. Here's what I mean:
sudo ntop -u jlay -w 3010 -d -P /usr/local/var/ntop gives me no data, whereas sudo ntop -u jlay -w 3010 -P /usr/local/var/ntop & gives me data. Any place I can look to try and find out why this is? Here's some sample output with the -d option: Wed Dec 14 15:53:35 2005 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Wed Dec 14 15:53:35 2005 Initializing gdbm databases Wed Dec 14 15:53:35 2005 ntop v.3.2 SourceForge .tgz Wed Dec 14 15:53:35 2005 Configured on Dec 13 2005 4:33:15, built on Dec 13 2005 04:35:10.

After checking no stats are given anywhere...Global Traffic Stats are completely blank. If started without -d and adding & at the end of my line, I get stats. DISCLAIMER: I am NOT looking for help...I have a work around and it works just fine. I'm simply trying to see if I can assist with making a great app even greater by bringing things others may see.
