/proc/loadavg contains the load average, not the % CPU load.

Also, you can not use cut -b like that because it will break as soon as the load average becomes greater than 10.00.

Also, MRTG only deals in integers (and you have specifically used the integer option), so it won't deal with the decimal point in the load averages.  Maybe multiply them by 100?

A better script would be something like:

#!/bin/sh
awk '{print $1*100; print $2*100; print "days"; print "192.168.10.16"}' /proc/loadavg

Regards,

Scott.
