[mrtg] Re: target script lines

[Jimmy Stewpot]

I changed the symbol to ` instead of ' and it still has the same error that i have down below, 
which is.

 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 Ideas?
thankyou
