MRTG graphs resetting at 4am

[Chris W. Parker]

hi.

starting a few weeks ago some of my MRTG graphs* are restting every day
at 4am. that is to say they look similar to this:

+-----------------------------------------------+
|                                    ***********|
|                                 **************|
|                        ***********************|
|      **         ******************************|
|   *****    ***********************************|
|******** **************************************|
+-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-+
0   2   4   6   8  10  12  14  16  18  20  22  24

there isn't anything in /etc/cron.daily that i see to restart
mailscanner and thus reset a counter (although i don't even think MS has
anything to do with the counters used by MRTG??). i also don't see
anything regarding MRTG in /etc/cron.daily.

my Restart Every option is set at 14400 and the file check_MailScanner
is in /etc/cron.hourly.

since this didn't used to happen (actually it happened every ince in a
whole but not on a consistent daily basis) i assume it has something to
do with a configuration change i've made somewhere. anyone have any
ideas what that might have been?


thanks,
chris.
