OK. I can't figure this out. maybe someone can help me real quick. I'm trying to schedule MRTG to run every 5 minutes. Easy enough?
I put the following entry into my "crontab" file. (Yea, i used "crontab -e" to edit the file as root) 0-55/5 * * * * root mrtg /mrtg-2.5.4c/mrtg.cfg Now, If I'm reading this right, it should run the "mrtg" command as root every 5 minutes... Good eh? well, it never runs becuase it never produces output. If I run the EXACT same command just by itself, it runs just fine. But it never runs as scheduled. Any one have any ideas? Am i using the right crontab file to do it? what am I missing? Thanks Will
