Check your crontab carefully you've got a > in there which overwrites your config.
You're also missing some entries if you're trying to run this every 2 minutes. -----Original Message----- From: Westermann, Gavin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:37 PM To: 'Brander, Eric'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [mrtg] Re: mrtg.cfg file being truncated Sure. 00,02,06,10,12,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,46,48,50,52,54,56,5 8 * * * * /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg > /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg2.log #MRTG poll this is it. It was originally working, but I redid it because of of the files was not updating for some reason. Next time I looked this trunking was happening. If you run that as just a command line it will do the same thing. /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg.cfg Gavin Westermann Internetworking Operations Consultant World Markets AT&T Canada Corp 5160 Orbitor Drive Mississauga, Ontario L4W 5H2 ph: 905-361-6126 -----Original Message----- From: Brander, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 4:23 PM To: 'Westermann, Gavin'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [mrtg] mrtg.cfg file being truncated Sounds like your cron job could have the wrong command line. Can you show us the crontab line in question? MRTG does not modify the config files when it runs. Just a guess (and based on the lack if info here - a long shot at best) you are running cfgmaker every 5 minutes, and not MRTG.

I make my config usring cfgmaker and the result is placed where I want by the script. -rw------- 1 root sys 67539 Feb 27 11:44 mrtg.cfg after the cron runs the first run this file some how trunkates to this. -rw------- 1 root sys 240 Feb 27 12:02 mrtg.cfg All that is in that file is the header? The actuall config that sits south of that is missing? I cannot figure out why this is happening?
