[mrtg] Re: target script lines

[Leif Neland]

The mrtg expects 4 lines, in, out, uptime and a name.
in and out are plotted, uptime and name are displayed on the webpage.

So instead of calling netstat directly make a script like
netstat -an|grep -c FIN
netstat -an|grep -c CONNECTED
echo 0
echo Netstat test

and call that script instead.
