MRTG ERROR

["Diác. C.J.Moretti"]

Hello!

A few days to hj'm getting a mail from my server with the following error:

Cron <root@mitranhsi> if [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ] && [ -r /etc/mrtg.cfg ] && [ -d "$(grep '^[[:space:]]*[^#]*[[:space:]]*WorkDir' /etc/mrtg.cfg | awk '{ print $NF }')" ]; then mkdir -p /var/log/mrtg ; env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log ; fi

2015-03-09 22:40:27: ERROR: I guess another mrtg is running. A lockfile (/var/lock/mrtg/_etc_mrtg.cfg_l) aged
773 seconds is hanging around. If you are sure that no other mrtg
is running you can remove the lockfile

Can someone give me a hint on how to fix this?

As root remove the lock file.

e.g.:
su
rm /var/lock/mrtg/_etc_mrtg.cfg_l
exit

or if you are using sudo instead of a root account:

sudo rm /var/lock/mrtg/_etc_mrtg.cfg_l

Given this is running from cron, I'd be careful about that. The lock
file is there to prevent multiple instances running; it's easy with
cron to have a process run longer than the interval between runs,

So, I'd firstly figure out why it takes longer than expected, then
decide if that's ok, and possibly adjust the crontab to increase the
interval - or fix whatever's causing it to take too long.
