What does the raw output of the external script look like before you 
add it to the target line of the cfg file?  The result should be
something 
like:

4836
0
0
<exchange server name>

The first two lines can be flipped.  You just have to decide if you
want to
show a blue line (put the 4836 on the second line) or a green area
(leave 
it as the first number) and then use either NOO or NOI,depending on 
which one you want to see.

The third line is the uptime of the device, but accuracy isn't
important, the 
number just needs to be there.  The fourth line is just the name of the
server.  

HTH,
Paul
