That's cool.  I just made several stats defs to do the same thing, so I 
have disk reads/writes on one graph, net in/out on another.

As soon as I wrap up work on my main project, I'm going to get your 
script working on my secondary hobbit server and start messing around. 
I might be interested in that patch at that tiem.

Those sound good.  I have most of those functions in use, so I can help test

I agree.  I would not want to use statit to get the data from within 
this script, but I'm not sure there is another method.  I was 
researching that when I sent my email.

Other info I was thinking of adding to your script is aggregate status.
