Hi !

I've got the problem, to use several extra-scripts for hobbitd_rrd

e.g. extragraph.sh,devmon-rrd.pl or the new one flexlmpl ...


The manual says only to use one file for extra-script

--extra-script=FILENAME
     Defines the script that is run to get the RRD data for tests that are 
not built into hobbitd_rrd. You must also specify which tests are handled 
by the external script in the --extra-tests option. This option can only 
be given once, so the script must handle all of the external test-data. 
See the CUSTOM RRD DATA section below. Note that this is NOT needed if 
your custom graphs are generated by the NCV (Name Colon Value) module 
described below, it is only required for data where you have a custom 
script to parse the status message and extract the data that is put into 
the graph.

But how could i handle this ?

Only append one script after the other one into a simple shell-script ?

Or have i to write a hole new one for this ?

.. thinking many other Xymon's should have this "problem" ?

thanks & cheers
