I created a symlink pointing /rateup to /usr/local/bin/rateup. MRTG is now
working, however there I see these warnings in the log:
2005-11-26 20:20:00 -- Started mrtg with config
'/usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg'
2005-11-26 20:20:00 -- Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or
string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 720.
2005-11-26 20:20:00 -- Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or
string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 744.
So, in summary so far, if I run the cron job as root, it works nicely with
no complaints.
If I run it out of the box as mrtg (meaning after installing from ports and
not makeing any funky symlinks for "rateup") it complains it can't fine
'/rateup', which makes sense because it's not there. If I add the symlink,
the cron job will run but with the above complaints.
Is there possibly a bug in the latest MRTG port?
