How can I find out whether the boost update process is running presently on Cacti? I want to check in a script before I start the regular system backup, delay my backup if it's boost is still running so that I don't overload the system and avoid the gaps I have around the time of my backup..

You can check by running ps -ef amd seeing if /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/boost/poller_boost.php is running.
That said, the path may be different for you, but there should still be a process with cacti/plugins/boost/poller_boost.php in it.

No because boost_server.php is ..the boost server it stays on like a daemon ready to write any graph data from the db to the rrds in case someone opens a cacti page and the graphs haven't been updated yet. – Recct Sep 10 '15 at 10:22
