Strike one. (I'll leave out when you did this to me the other day.)

This guy probably *is* the systems administrator: not all of us have enough knowledge to trivially deduct this stuff. For one thing, I am a hacker. And this sort of 'hacking' is exactly what a sys-admin or network admin needs to do as part of their job. Leong? (Is that the right way to address you informally?) There have been scripts published, such as cfgstoragemaker, to generate .cfg files with precisely this sort of information. I've had poor success with it since RHEL 4, and keep meaning to try to update it, but failing. Even if they don't work for you, they should give you a better idea about how to roll your own. >> 2, How to setup ( config ) the mrtg for measuring ( monitoring ) the >> following hardware usage ( used ) percentage ? >> 2.1 CPU usage persentage. >> > > That really depends on the platform.

But Dan, please ease up on the newbies. We should foster them, even if they're asking questions that they'd find in the documentation.
