[mrtg] Re: Threshold Checking

[SCHAAF PETER]

It's OK, when I use the external script. But we are trying to correlate this
directly in MRTG (script)!
We would like to reduce the usage of external scripts in our environment.
Nevertheless,
thanks for your help,
Peter.

	You confused me a little here. If you don't want it to run
	everytime/multiple times. You can write your script so that it
checks
	the ThreshDir for a file pertaining to the target. If this file
exists,
	don't send the email except perhaps every fifth time. It would take
a
	little more checking and scripting, but could be done.
