I changed my script to yours. Now it looks so:

#!/bin/sh
ping -Q -q -c1 iimm |\
awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"};/\//{print int($5*100)}'

It returns one integer number.
If I change int($5*100) for simply $5 then I get 

Problem with Externale get '`/usr/home/andre/bin/mping.sh`'
    Expected an INTEGER for 'in' but got '3.486'

Problem with Externale get '`/usr/home/andre/bin/mping.sh`'
    Expected an INTEGER for 'out' but got ''

I understanded first error and change $5 for int($5*100).
I done it and first error got away.

But I can`t understand second error :(
It looks like MRTG trys to write something to my script and then expects
replay from it ...

What do you think about it?

regards.
