To have rtgpoll start at boot time, you must edit ${SYSCONFDIR}/rtg/rtg.conf and insert the following in /etc/rc.local. if [ -x /usr/local/bin/rtgpoll ]; then echo -n ' rtgpoll' /usr/local/bin/rtgpoll -t target_file \ -c /etc/rtg/rtg.conf >/dev/null 2>&1 & fi This will start snmpd and use ${SYSCONFDIR}/rtg/rtg.conf for the configuration. Be sure to read the manualpages of rtgpoll(1) and rtgplot(1) to create a target_file. Example files for the webfrontend of rtgplot have been installed to /usr/local/share/examples/rtg/web/. Example files and a Database creation Script have been installed to /usr/local/share/examples/rtg/etc/.
