Hello,

After some googeling, and reading the very nice article on AFP548. I made the following plist, in order to be able to start MRTG on the right interval.

I also made a small bash script to start the mrtg program, with the right config file.

plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<dict>

<key>Label</key>

<string>com.hdl.mrtg.periodic-5min</string>

<key>OnDemand</key>

<key>Program</key>

<string>/opt/local/bin/mrtg</string>

<key>ProgramArguments</key>

<array>

<string>/Library/WebServer/Documents/mrtg/mrtg.cfg</string>

</array>

<key>RunAtLoad</key>

<true/>

<key>ServiceDescription</key>

<string>Starting MRTG on an interval of 5 mins</string>

<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>

<dict>

<key>Minute</key>

</dict>

</plist>

bash script:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to start mrtg

/opt/local/bin/mrtg "/Library/WebServer/Documents/mrtg/mrtg.cfg"

Can some of you tell me what I did wrong? It is just not working right. Every time I call the webpage generated from MRTG, it states that in that minute the las run was:

It is now 7:44....... So I'm wandering what did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance
