qmrtg version 2.1


QMRTG is stateful. It remembers the last log entry analyzed via some
db files. If they aren't available (as will be the first time you install
it), qmrtg will return the whole history of your MTA, which could be a bit
violent to the report graphs you're setting up.

To skip this effect, run the proper script provided first:
$ qmrtgsync.sh

When ready for start QMRTG stats, you need to schedule it to be run every
M minutes (usually M = 5). This is easy with cron:
Edit /etc/crontab and append the following line:
    
    */5 * * * * root mrtg /var/www/stats/mrtg-qmrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg

Replace
1)  "root" with the name of the user you run qmrtg as
2)  "/var/www/stats/mrtg-qmrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg" with the path of the
MRTG (!, not qmrtg) configuration file you just set up.


Running qmrtg unprivileged is of course recommended. Some requirements
raise from this which are explained in the corresponding entry in the
package FAQs.
