I made up a runscript for starting MRTG as a daemon. This is an alternative to running it as a cron job.
Created attachment 7256 [details] This rc script should go in the files section of the ebuild
Created attachment 7257 [details, diff] patch to make net-analyzer/mrtg-2.9.22.ebuild install the new mrtg.rc file
Just as a note... mrtg-2.9.22 is the latest build in portage and mrtg-2.9.25 is the latest stable released version on the web.
This bug has been inactive for more than 180 days. The current stable version of mrtg in portage is 2.9.29, which still doesn't seem to address this bug. Feedback please?
In the rc file, could you please remove the comment with your name and put the (c) Gentoo Technologies header in its place? Your name will be credited in the ChangeLog, but we need the files to have the Gentoo headers.
Created attachment 29987 [details] rc script with gentoo copyright.
This has finally been added to portage. Sorry for the long delay, I was playing with pictures of pretty girls and seeing which would look best for my background image... oh yeah, thanks! I promise the other bug reports won't take THIS long to sort out ;)
