[mrtg] Re: Sendmail Monitoring

[Yannis Nikolopoulos]

the simplest way is to write a small shell (or perl) script that runs
as a cron job every 5 minutes and does a pgrep sendmail | wc -l
and stores that into a text file.

the mrtg conf file is trivial also. Make sure you have a target
definition like :
Target[host]: `cat text_file`
and you probably need the gauge and nopercent options.

hope it helps
