Hello, maybe there is a misunderstanding . I start it only once. Not serveral times. This is done automaticaly during the next days. If I start ntop from command line with /usr/bin/ntop -t 5 -K -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 several times, it starts only once ps -ef | grep ntop wwwrun 9049 1 4 18:14 ? 00:00:29 /usr/bin/ntop -t 5 -K -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 root 10971 8136 0 18:25 pts/0 00:00:00 grep ntop
I've setup 5 systems with Suse 9.3 / Ntop 3.2 and 2 System with Suse 10.2 / Ntop3.3. Only one NTOP 3.3 system has this problem. I've now followed the hint to delete the dnsCache.db ( size was only 4 MB ) and restart NTOP. Keep you informed if this helps Regards Rolf Here is the output with setting the flags /usr/bin/ntop -t 5 -K -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 Initializing gdbm databases Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 Opening database '/var/lib/ntop/prefsCache.db' Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 Opening database '/var/lib/ntop/ntop_pw.db' Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 NOTE: Reading preferences file entries Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 NOTE: Processing parameters (pass2) Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 ntop v.3.3 Thu Apr 17 18:14:53 2008 Configured on Sep 22 2007 3:29:05, built on Sep 22 2007 03:29:23.

If I try to start mine more than once I get errors relating to file reads/locks and it aborts. I'm not even sure where to start on this. Does it always try to start more than one instance or just after a reboot? Maybe try the -t 5 and -K flags and see if there's more detailed messages? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wiebel, Rolf Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 8:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] NTOP : Hangs after some days Hello, I've a problem that NTOP hangs after a while NTOP is running , but several times ps -ef | grep ntop wwwrun 5909 1 51 Mar25 ? 12-00:22:33 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 wwwrun 4043 5909 0 Mar26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 wwwrun 28053 5909 0 Mar28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 wwwrun 8190 5909 0 Mar28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 wwwrun 13164 5909 0 Mar28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 wwwrun 24066 5909 0 Apr01 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ntop -P /var/lib/ntop -i eth0,eth1,eth2 -u wwwrun -w 205.191.7.249:3000 Any idea why it start several times ?
