[mrtg] External Script Error

[Gaurav Sabharwal]

Hi All,

I am calling an external script from the MRTG config file in order to
monitor CPU utilization of a Sun Solaris server. Running SNMP is not an
option. I am getting the errors below whenever I run MRTG from the cron. If
I run MRTG from the command line no errors and the graphs are produced and
updated too. MRTG is running on a Red Hat 7.1 server. MRTG version is
2.9.17.

Start of error log:
-----------------
2001-09-13 11:20:02 -- Started mrtg
2001-09-13 11:20:03 -- WARNING: Could not get any data from external command
`../../scripts/solaris/cpu.pl hostname_here`
Maybe the external command did not even start. (Illegal seek)

End of error log

Start of Config File:
-------------------
#My Host CPU Utilization Configuration
Target[host-cpu]: `../../scripts/solaris/cpu.pl hostname_here`
MaxBytes[host-cpu]: 100
YLegend[host-cpu]: % of CPU used
LegendI[host-cpu]:   User:
LegendO[host-cpu]:   System:

Legend4[host-cpu]: Maximal system utilization

PageTop[host-cpu]: <H1>CPU Statistics for Host</H1>

End of Config File
------------------

Thanks in advance.
