hi

Sorry for misunderstanding
I'll be happy for any help
Did you see my my penultimate posting ?
I would like to stop the ntop monitoring tool, if it's running and start it again.
I don't want to start it, if it's already already running.

after stop with the script ntop says:
Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]:   STATS: 0 packets dropped (by ntop)
Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd kernel: vr0: promiscuous mode disabled

Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]:   ===================================

and after start with the script, ntop says:
