I believe it is a requirement for an external monitoring script to produce
four lines of output in order to be used with mrtg.
Line 1 - current state, first var
Line 2 - current state, second var
Line 3 - string - uptime
Line 4 - string - name of target

You can use 
Options[target]: noinfo
to supress the line 3 and line 4 data, but I think mrtg still requires it
from the script.
