[neonlexx]

Ok via logcheck, i keep getting this email. tryed deleted mrtg.cfg_l
didnt do anything. Help would be great becuase, i have an email box full of this.

ERROR: It looks as if you are running two copies of mrtg in parallel on
the same config file. There is a lockfile (/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg_l) and it is
is only 0 seconds old ... Check your crontab.
(/etc/crontab and /var/spool/cron/root)

Did you check your crontabs?

[neonlexx]

I didnt see any any duplicates in crontab, however i deleted the line i had enterted and all is fixed.

Weird.

Try checking /var/spool/cron - you'll probably find another entry there.
