[Perfparse-users] Perparse Method 4 (pipe)

[Tong Y. <To...@in...>]

I have read through the documentation and groups and got it working, but
I need to manually run ./perfparsed before the service-perfdata.log file
is created by nagios.  Is this by design?
=20
Should I create some script to run perfparsed before nagios starts.  Or
did I miss something that is suppose to run perfparsed by itself?
Thanks!

I am running Nagios 2.0 on debian sarge.  Here are my config files:
