A Citrix Farm summary is something I've thought about for ages - so thanks
to both of you for the push to finally get a script done!

I've created dummy entries for both of our Citrix farms, and have the
"citrix" test pages generated with the "X users active" text showing, but
I'm not getting any RRD files and I'm getting a "broken image" for my
citrix graph.

Is there anything else I should have to do?

Cheers,
Andy.
