Target[chatboy]: `/var/www/www.gay.nl/bin/online.php | /usr/bin/awk '{ print
$1; print $1; print "a high load" ; print "scriptname";}'`I don't awk, so I'm confused as to what you are trying to accomplish with this line. What is the result if you run that entire line (inside the back ticks) manually? MRTG expects to get 4 lines from an external program. I use external scripts without any hassle, but I haven't tried piping anything through awk. You may want to experiment with your PHP script to just place 0's after the reading so that it reads something like this: 112 0 0 0 Oh, also, make sure that the account that MRTG is using has rights to run your script. Oh.. and another thing, but I have 0 knowledge on PHP scripts, is that you may have to `/path/to/interpreter /path/to/script | awk whatever`. But again, having no experience with PHP, this may not apply.

We have a complicated website and I want to graph the concurrent loged in users each 5 minutes. There is a mysql table online that keeps the users records. So I wrote a small php script to output the numbers of records in the table. Script output of php script: gay-www# ./online.php 112 gay-www# But how do i graph this via mrtg? I tried this but all what I get is zero graphs in my html.
