[mrtg] sprintf errors

[John Barbieri]

Howdy,

I recently started to use an external program that MRTG calls to draw
graphs.

Everytime it runs, i get these errors:


bash-3.00# /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /usr/local/mrtg-2/etc/modems.cfg
Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg line
1260.

This is my config line for that scripts:


Target[modems]: `/usr/local/scripts/modem_count.pl`
YLegend[modems]: # of Modems
ShortLegend[modems]: modems
MaxBytes[modems]: 50000
Options[modems]: gauge,nopercent,growright,noinfo,pngdate,unknaszero,integer
Title[modems]: # of Modems
Colours[modems]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#1000ff,BLUE#1000ff,VIOLET#ff00ff
LegendI[modems]: # of Registered Modems:
LegendO[modems]:
PageTop[modems]: <H1># of Modems </H1>
kMG[modems]: ,,


And this is what I get for output when I run the script manually:

bash-3.00# /usr/local/scripts/modem_count.pl
10829
10829
1186083574
modemsbash-3.00#

I also tried adding another \n at the end to see if that helped, but I
am still getting the error.

mrtg-2.15.2 - Multi Router Traffic Grapher

The graphs are coming out right, but I am just getting the sprintf errors.

If anyone knows whats going on that would be helpful.


Thanks,

John
