[mrtg] Re: Threshold on NT?

[David C Prall]

Place the program inside double quotes and see what happens. I like
calling a simple batch file. Then I can modify a single batch file
should something change. Of course I now have about 60 batch files that
in turn call another batch file that does the real work.
