[mrtg] Thresholds Question....?

[Madden, Jay F]

I am trying to setup thresholds, I have setup a test config (included
below). When I run mrtg manually against the config I get the following
error:

CFG Error in "threshprogo[myrouter.mydomain.com]", line 18: Threshold
program "/usr/local/mrtg/CONFIGS/myscript.sh" cannot be executed

I am trying to execute a Shell script that will fire a mail message when a
threshold is crossed, I have tested the scipt by executing it stanalone with
the arguments passed in, and the script sends mail every time. I am guessing
that mrtg doesn't like it because it's a shell script? I am running other
collectors with perl scripts called on the Target[] line with no trouble. I
have included my config and script files below for review. Any help would be
greatly appreciated......Thanks in advance.......Jay
