[mrtg] Re: MRTG and Threshold Parameters on NT...

[Kirk Rogers]

And yes, I also use pingprobe and it works fine as well with calling a perl
program.  It requires backticks just as the target line does.  Go figure,
eh?

Bear,
Actually, you don't need any quotes for a batch file.  It works fine without
it.  Read my earlier post for what I did as a workaround.

Thanks for the response,
Kirk

Hi you definately need double quotes for the bat file ( hint if you get an
error here you have summin wrong ) to work properly from an mrtg.cfg file
,take a look at the ping program in your mrtg extras directory ( it took me
a while to get it to work on NT, just didnt follow instructions - simply my
fault ! ) I cannot send your the cfg file till wednesday , but if you still
need it by then post in the group .
