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. in your case ln -s /etc/init.d/mrtgd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S65mrtg florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
