Try doing it this way. Create your master.cfg file, and have something like: Forks: 10 RunAsDaemon: yes Routers.cgi*Ignore: yes Include: /etc/mrtg/device1.cfg Include: /etc/mrtg/device2.cfg # and so on, remember you cannot use wildcards in the Include You should tune the Forks: statement to your system; higher values run quicker but use more CPU and memory, lower values may not finish within the 5-min window. The Ignore line prevents routers2 from processing the file. Remember you cannot use wildcards in an Include: statement. Then, call MRTG with mrtg /etc/mrtg/master.cfg and all should be well. You will not see the additional files on the command line, but you should see the files updating; you will get a number of threads corresponding to the Forks: setting.
