[mrtg] MRTG showing incoming data during time when PC is shutoff

[William Owen]

If you are not sold on MRTG handling your data logging, you could switch
to RRDTool and use Routers2 as a front-end.  It can grey out any unknown
data points so there is no confusion about 0, unknown and last known.

OK, I'm in office right now, will try these suggestions when I get
home again. But what does the obviousness of a flat line have to do
with anything? I mean, I'm trying to make sense of that sentence.

This option sounds hopeful "--ifref=ip" for running with cfgmaker.

Will try these and get back ASAP.
