You might prefer to disable it rather than deleting in the event you want to use it again?
Assuming Linux:
Edit /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg - change "RunAsDameon:Yes" to No.
Then "killproc mrtg -9"

[R_15]

my /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg says this:




######################################################################

rpm -e mrtg <- that should remove it for you.

You might want to be careful with that. There was a bug where without mrtg, cpanellogd (I believe) spawned indefinitely.

mrtg is used by cPanel. Should find out why it's using so much resources, rather than just removing it.

[haze]

Nickn, I believe its rrdtool that cpanel requires not mrtg.

[nickn]

Ah..you're right.

[R_15]

root@sp0112a [~]# rpm -e mrtg
error: package mrtg is not installed


:S

[chirpy]

I'll have a go

Here's a run down of everywhere I can think for you to look logged in as root:

rm /etc/cron.d/mrtg
service mrtg stop
chkconfig mrtg off
killall mrtg

Also:

crontab -e

If there are any lines running mrtg, delete them.

That usually covers it

Note: You might get errors with one or more of the above, depending on how mrtg is running, but if at least one works, you should be rid of it.

Yep get rid of it, too much server load...
