[mrtg] Re: target script lines

[Thomas Brian Granier]

Instead of the ' symbol (the one grouped with the " symbol) use the `
symbol (the one grouped with the ~ symbol) to surround the program name.

Subject: [mrtg] target script lines


hello, 
i am currently having problems with getting the interger to be accepted
by mrtg. when i run a simple command line it gives me a particular
number.. but when i  run it in the target line like so :
Target[sys1.fin]:'netstat -an | grep -c FIN'
it doesnt produce any numbers/intergers.
But this is it at the prompt:

# netstat -an | grep -c FIN
3
#

What could cause this to not produce any resuls when its in the mrtg.cfg
file.
My options line is like so :

Options[sys1.fin]: gauge growright

I generally get this error
./mrtg mrtg.cfg
Problem with Externale get '`netstat -an | grep -c FIN`':
    Expected an INTEGER for 'out' but got ''

Any help would be much appreciated.
thankyou
Jimmy stewpot
