[mrtg] smtp-stats problem

[Faisal]

hi, 

Is anybody using mrtg-mail  script for sendmail stats by  "rachel polanskis".

well I have been trying to use this script to graph my sendmail 8.9.0 stats.

I have addes smtp-stats in services and inetd.conf.
and if I do a telnet to that very port I do get the mailstats.

then I copied the mailstat script into /usr/local/bin.
And if I use this script " perl5 /usr/local/bin/mailstat, I do get the desired result.

but when I try to parse it through mrtg it gives me error,

/usr/bin/perl5	/usr/local/mrtg/run/mrtg		/usr/local/bin/mrt/run/mail.cfg

error:

/usr/bin/perl5 /usr/local/mrtg-2.7.2/run/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2.7.2/run/mailstats.cfg
syntax error in file /usr/local/bin/mailstats at line 16, next 2 tokens "use Socket"

/usr/local/bin/mailstats has too many errors.
Could not get any data from external command '/usr/local/bin/mailstats'
Maybe the external command did not even start. (No such file or directory)




Can some one help me out , what exactly is going wrong ??

thanx & regards,

Faisal
