Ok... all graphs of the TheYOSH is a Windows 2000 Server system.
I use some small progs to gather the information with a rsh command.
And sometime the rshd stops. Errors on NT. So MRTG has no data.
That's why it is sometimes down. But after restart of the daemon it is ok.

The graphs off Crashcan is also a NT Server. But that is not an interferance.

So the main question is why MRTG logs zeros on Gateway CpuTemp, MBTemp and 
FanSpeed. The script tells me when I run it the correct values.

And I found the debug option and this is what MRTG does:
And look at the values the gets. They ARE OK!!

--base: Act on Router/Target gateway.cputemp
--base: Get Current values: (41, 41, 0, 0, 997043236)
--base: Create Graphics
--base: Check for Thresholds
--base: Check for Write HTML Pages
--base: Act on Router/Target gateway.cpufan
--base: Get Current values: (5232, 5232, 0, 0, 997043236)
--base: Create Graphics
--base: Check for Thresholds
--base: Check for Write HTML Pages
--base: Act on Router/Target gateway.mbtemp
--base: Get Current values: (30, 30, 0, 0, 997043236)
--base: Create Graphics
--base: Check for Thresholds
--base: Check for Write HTML Pages

Ok... this is already a long e-mail. But I have some more thinking.
When I run the program as root, he collects the values ok. That just happend.
But when it is started with the cron as user root it doesn't.
Could it be with system enviorment??

And when you come to this point of the message then I really appriciate that you took
time to help me with this.
