I have done this once before, but cannot seem to find the info to create a sybolic link as per the instructions below. I have succesfully created the script in init.d. Any help would be appreciated.
to your mrtg configuration file and then creating a startup script in your system startup sequence. Unfortunately, adding startup scripts differs widely amongst different unix systems. The modern ones normally have a directory called /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d where you put scripts which starts the process you want to run when the system boots. Further you must create a symbolic link in /etc/rc3.d or /etc/rc.d/rc?.d called S65mrtg (this is just a sample name ... it is just important that it starts with S followed by a two digit number). If you are not sure about this, make sure you consult the documentation of your system to make sure you get this right.
A minimal script to put into init.d might look like this:
#! /bin/sh
cd /usr/local/mrtg-2.9.17/bin && ./mrtg --user=mrtg-user \
/home/httpd/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log
Note that this will only work with RunAsDaemon: Yes in your mrtg.cfg file.
