Dear Layla, a few weeks ago I have had a similar Problem and I didn't get deep enough into it to say what was the reason. But I found a workaround wich maybe aslo probable for you. I am using a Debian Testing System and installed Smokeping from the Debian repositories. Then I tried to customize the config files for my needs including custom pathes for rrd's, pictures and so on. But I realized that smokeping does not take care in every case of the customized pathes. So I did a reinstall and used the original locations for the files and everything seems to work fine except starting smokeping via rc-scripts. I have to start it manually as a deamon and no entries in crontab.
Hope that helps you! Regards Werner PS: sorry for my not so good english ;o) > Josh - > > thank you very much for your response. > > I have yet to do anything with crontab on this system.
