Hi all,
 

I just got into using Perl scripts on remote servers and MRTG.  One
remote script, which uses this command-line command:

 

"netstat -a -n | grep -E "^(tcp)"| cut -c 68-|sort|uniq -c | sort -n |
grep TIME_WAIT"

 

Is causing a bunch of messages to be sent to the MRTG server that look
like this:

 

------------------------------------------------

...

...

Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /etc/mrtg/all-ip

X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>

X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/user>

X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>

X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=user>

 

warning, got bogus tcp line.

warning, got bogus tcp line.

warning, got bogus tcp line.

---------------------------------------------

 

 

I know these warnings are returned by the remote server's command shell,
and not directly caused by the Perl script, nor actually passed as one
of the 4 values (In, Out, Host, Uptime) to the snmp collector, so is
there a way of suppressing these warnings?  Is it done within the Perl
script, or within MRTG?

 

 

Thanks a ton!

Spencer
