I got every thing updated and installed xbox-temp, the log file keeps over writing itself instead of appending it, I have looked on http://www.mrtg.org and checked the config and I can't get it, anoyone else using this with success?

'>' means overwrite, '>>' means append. Look in your cron entry (or wherever your logging statement is).

Overwrite:

Code: Select all

xboxtemp > /path/to/logfile
Append:

Code: Select all

xboxtemp >> /path/to/logfile
