munin

One solution I tried was to turn up the time between tests from 5 minutes to 10 minutes. This still had generated problems, as munin-cron runs still weren’t done after 10 minutes, and any greater time between polls meant subpar graph granularity. My final solution was to modify munin’s cron entry to the following: */7 * * * * munin test ( ! "$(pidof /usr/bin/munin-cron)" ) && test -x /usr/bin/munin-cron && nice -19 /usr/bin/munin-cron I ran a test to see if there’s still a PID active from munin-cron, and if not check to see if the munin-cron executable exists.
