[mrtg-developers] Getting error from MRTG whenrunningexternalscript

[Scott S. Heath]

Alex,
I feel so much better knowing I'm not nuts and that my code does work.

MRTG runs fine w/o the external program interface (got it watching our
router at the datacenter so we can charge customers bandwidth)

I found the last newline and removed it. 

0000000   2   0   0  \n   0  \n   0  \n   C   o   p   y   Q   u   e   u
0000020   e   L   e   n   g   t   h
0000027

The script has 777 permissions (I'll adjust these later) and I still get
the same error.

Looking good. But where does this final newline come from?


Does your mrtg setup work if you don't use the external program
interface?

Can the mrtg script start your script? (check permissions)
