With the amount of debris that the retina deposits in my eye, close computer work is a bit headache inducing, and after a lot of effort still no joy.

I will take a temporary break and maybe set up a third cfg stripped of virtually everything apart from the one interface and work on that rather than constantly disturbing otherwise working scripts.

But have appreciated David’s kind input.

Cheers.

Glad you have no errors David- though if you had it might have helped me!!

I run two MRTG files, one for the SR-1 and one for the TBS. both cmd boxes report initial errors of exactly the same kind. E.G. can’t execute “MRTG” at line 172. But in the TBS script there is no line 172 so I am wondering if it’s an interaction between Strawberry Perl and MRTG. I am completely out of my depth in trying to sort out this kind of area, but in spite of the errors MRTG works fine apart from the single interface.

Cheers.

=====================================

James,

It's likely to be something simple as the rest of MRTG works. I've used the ActivePerl version of Perl, but if it works with all the other MRTG scripts it's unlikely to be the problem. Line numbering - if you're using include files you may have to consider the total script with the include files included!

Cheers,
David
