MRTG Help again

[David While]

I don't rotate the log files hourly - its a straight out of the box Redhat
7.3 system. My script creates a temporary file containing the entries for
the previous hour and then it analyses that file. It also requires that
you set the mailscanner option log spam to yes so that the info is logged
in the file. On a busy server this may well make you log files pretty
large.

I will be posting the script when I've tidied it up a bit.

How do you get the log file to rotate hourly?
