[mrtg] Re: 14all/rrd graph problem

[Nicolas Sayer]

Your browser will NOT (I'd like to say never) execute a script directly.
Either:
	- setup a http server (apache, jigsaw, whatever) on the system ;
	- execute your script by hand (or cron) ./14all.cgi "" (see section
	  DEBUGGING of "perldoc CGI.pm") and dump it into > foo.html, then
      read foo.html. Only problem, you'll have to generate, every XXminutes
      every page you could want to see...

Go for the first solution...


		cheers, Nick
