Cacti

Having an issue that is causing me some pain. Every time the poller runs in cacti (using cmd.php) it is leaving a process running on the server called poller_automation.php.

I am not sure if I should use the root user or the user created for the mysql database or some other user like www-data. I am so confused at this point. May be a problem for another week.

I have followed a few guides step by step and just end in errors each time. Here are the guides I have followed: http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-ho...
