README for seqmrtg.php

SeqMRTG is a php script written to speedup the task of configuring MRTG
for devices like Switches or Routers with many identical ports or interfaces.

There are two different ways to execute this script.
From the shell or from your browser.

First check if your box has a php interpreter.

Type 'php -h'

You should get the output similar to this one.

 # php -h
 Usage: php [-q] [-h] [-s [-v] [-i] [-f <file>] |  {<file> [args...]}
   -q             Quiet-mode.  Suppress HTTP Header output.
   -s             Display colour syntax highlighted source.
   -f <file>      Parse <file>.  Implies `-q'
   -v             Version number
   -C             Do not chdir to the script's directory
   -c <path>      Look for php.ini file in this directory
   -a             Run interactively
   -d foo[=bar]   Define INI entry foo with value 'bar'
   -e             Generate extended information for debugger/profiler
   -z <file>      Load Zend extension <file>.
   -l             Syntax check only (lint)
   -m             Show compiled in modules
   -i             PHP information
   -h             This help


If not then copy the script to your html directory and call it from your browser.
Make sure the script has appropriate permissions 'chmod 755 seqmrtg.php'.
You also want to make sure there are appropriate permissions in the directory
for your script to write the output files.

If you do have the php interpreter on your box, you should be able to execute the
script by typing 'php seqmrtg.php'.

Before you do this edit sqlmrtg.php for settings.

If you don't have php you can get it at http://www.php.net
