[mrtg] Re: Suppressing command-line errors, using perl scripts

[Spencer B. Torene]

Thank you very much, Takumi.  Everything is working perfectly now.

I only had to add " 2> /dev/null" to the end of the script call.

I haven't tried your netstat command yet, but it does look much better
than mine.  I'll give it a go in the near future.


Thanks again!
Spencer

Assuming you are Linux luser:
  man bash
then read a section 'REDIRECTION'
and
  man null

You got the idea, I hope.


An alternative to your (complex) script:
  netstat --ip -na | awk 'BEGIN {c=0} /^tcp.* TIME_WAIT / {c++} \
    END {print c}'
