That's fine. The salient portion of the manual is http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/reference.html under the TARGET syntax, under the rubrick "External Monitoring Scripts". > > I would like to use the FreeSpace utility from Netlatency ( > http://www.netlatency.com/utilities.html ) to monitor disk usage on > different drives.

You would then make your target say something like: target[drive_c]: `splitit.pl` Note the use of backticks. Note also that you will want to use absolute paths for the script. Anyway, that should get you started. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE 2495, CNX Austin Energy -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
