Topic: Problems with mrtg...

Since I installed mrtg via the script at http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/ Ive been getting spammed with the following email every 5 mins:  

grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory
grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory
grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory

Now Ive been into the directory and looked at the virusstats.pl and the file is there,  I even deleted it and renamed the previous copy to the same name and it didnt make a difference.  I'd like to be able to either disable it from checking the virus stats (which I dont really care too much about anyway) or just to plain remove the program altogether.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can disable the virus stats section by editing /etc/mrtg/all-ip and putting a '#' in front of the line that reads:
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/virus.cfg;

Also, check to make sure you have /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log present - this is the file it can't find.

Thanks heaps for that..  Just finished editing it and hopefully no more spam every 5 mins .. I had a feeling I needed to edit it but didnt want to go and break everything!

Just installed the script, and had the same problem. I quieted things down by just manualy creating the log file in /var/log/amavis-ng/
