My mistake - how about
grep '^[ \t]*WorkDir' /etc/mrtg.cfg
or
grep '^[[:space:]]WorkDir' /etc/mrtg.cfg
or
grep '[^#].*WorkDir' /etc/mrtg.cfg
Whatever - grep does not need to be run twice.
Of course, the idea of running all of
if [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ] && \
[ -r /etc/mrtg.cfg ] && \
[ -d "$(grep ^WorkDir /etc/mrtg.cfg | cut -d' ' -f2)" ]; \
then mkdir -p /var/log/mrtg ; \
env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg 2>&1 | tee -a
/var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log ; \
fi
_every_single_time_ the cron job is run from /etc/cron.d/mrtg is kind of
brain-dead, especially since, as with this bug, in the end, it did not work.
Using a cron job is NOT the efficient way to configure a system - but hey,
that's the "Debian Way". For that matter, neither are init scripts an
efficient way to configure a system - _every_single_time_ the system boots,
whether it needs to be done or not, whether it works or not, ... - but I
digress...
