Thank you for the tip... Just tried but the rrd files remain (all) untouched.... until now the only way is the crontab.... Here follow the "master file": routers.cgi*Ignore: yes Forks: 10 RunAsDaemon: Yes Interval: 1 Include: /etc/mrtg/file1.cfg Include: /etc/mrtg/file2.cfg ... -- Michele Ferritto Senior IT Engineer R.L.U. #342460 _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
