Cheshire Cat Computing

Hi,

I have about 120 devices and every the other hour; I keep getting

Perl.exe Application Error (title)
The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000142)
Click OK to terminate the application...

- Stop/start the Cron Jobs; It continues to pull.

Do you think this caused by because system can't handle all the processes? if so, is it the time to go with Linux

What is the default pull time and can I change it?

Thanks for any inputs!

Default polling interval is 5 mins.
You are probably running MRTG in daemon mode, and using cron to restart it if it dies?

In any case, linux is a much better way to go... more efficient, less trouble to get MRTG running, etc etc.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply!

You are probably running MRTG in daemon mode, and using cron to restart it if it dies?
Yes, I am.

This evening I installed Redhat/Fedora 10.0 wow, not much diffirent then MS XP/2003 look, this is way too cool . Do you have any preferences what Linux I should use?

- Installed latest version of MRTG
- configured apache server
- I followed the steps as given here;
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webto ... de.en.html

cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg' \
--global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' \
--output /var/www/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg \
public@192.168.30.5
This created only one device information (how to you add more device? or where do you specify it?)

under;
/etc/crontab
add the following lines;
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/mrtg-2/mrtg /var/www/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg \
--logging /usr/local/mrtg-2/log/mrtg.log

Chmod 777 the directory
chown apache the directory

http://localhost/mrtg/192.168.30.5.html (of-course you have to go the directory to find the htmls..


I need some help for
