Good idea, however what about if the user sets the 'RunAsDaemon' option in mrtg.conf (i.e. with cfgmaker ) and then wonders why it still does not work? Perhaps not introducing any more config files than the package already provides might be best? This is why I have been trying to get the script to check for that option - transparent as far as the user is concerned. I think I need sleep now 8-| .George.
