Re: MRTG script should be easy

It seems to me that you are re-inventing the wheel.

Have you tried to use the MRTG PingProbe, which, I believe, does what you want, and is written in a portable way ?

You can get info at: http://www.pwo.de/projects/mrtg/

or download from ftp://ftp.pwo.de/pub/pwo/mrtg/

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I would have written back sooner but I have been too busy tweeking my working MRTG system :-) When I was first looking for info on MRTG, I found a person who said hat you do not have to use SNMP and explained how to use your own scripts. That set me off on a tangent making that work. I never even thought to look for prebuilt scripts. Thank you for setting me straight. MRTG-PING-PROBE ROCKS...exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again; James	[reply]
