[NTLUG:Discuss] mrtg.cfg problem

[Sean Cook]

Raymond,

Try this... not sure if it will work or not.

Place the following in a file named MRTGmailer.sh.

#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo "Network is down" | /bin/mail -s "MRTG Warning" ray at mydomain.com

Then place this file into the following directory
/root/bin

Chmod the file to set the correct permissions, likely 755 or 775
chmod 755 /root/bin/MRTGmailer.sh

And then...
ThreshMinI[...]: 90%
ThreshProgI[...]: /root/bin/MRTGmailer.sh


Cheers,
Sean

: a batch file, but I am not sure of the Linux equivalent.
