Different poll intervals for certain scripts

Hi,

My poller.php is run once a minute from cron. There is a Script/Command which I'd like to run once every five minutes. Is it possible with poller.php?

The solution at the moment I have in mind is to return cacti-ized data once every 5 runs, and nothing otherwise. Will this break anything?

Thanks,

Binand

I'm not sure I understand. Poller is supposed to run every five minutes, not every minute....

I have manually set the poller.php crontab entry to run once every minute.

Essentially, I want script1.pl to run once every poller run, and script2.pl to run once every five runs of the poller. Is this something I can do with the poller settings, or by having two different pollers (one running once a minute and the other once every five minutes), or I should code this inside script2.pl?

Not currently supported in 0.8.6

Ah OK. I figured as much. I have coded this into a small perl module (let me know if anyone needs the .pm file for similar use - I usually release them as beerware
