Add wildcard support to the Include: directive. This is somethin= g I've wanted for years and been too lazy to submit the (small) patch requi= red to make it work. Routers2 already supports this :P 2. In daemon mode, check for modifications to the cfg file, and if so= , reload the configuration. I'm still testing this one because it is poten= tially difficult, as MRTG makes a few assumptions that this won't happen. = I'm also using Tobi's trick of using -M rather than (time-stat()[9]) on the= file age, and then $^T=3Dtime after the reload. 3. Identify RRD 1.4.999 or later, and use the new rrdcached functions= I added in the RRDTool patch if running in rrdcached/TCP mode. This is th= e final hurdle to allow MRTG to run on a separate server from the RRDTool d= atabase, allowing a true distributed MRTG setup. Some additional code now = in place to prevent re-testing of remote RRD files when in rrdcached/TCP mo= de (as the -M test can no longer be used, of course). Needs a bit more tes= ting, though... I'll be submitting these to Tobi once I'm happy they're stable. In the mea= ntime, I'd appreciate any feedback from the community.
