[hobbit] Cisco interface descriptions

[Robert Holden]

Are you using mrtg on top of hobbit for monitor the interfaces?  If so, then
you do something like this:

In hobbitgraph.cfg, under the mrtg section put:
          TITLE exec:/usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/mrtg-title.sh  (or
whatever path works for you)

Then in mrtg-title.sh do something like this:
#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME="$1"; shift
GTYPE="$1"; shift
LEGEND="$1"; shift
RRD="$1"; shift
MRTGSET="`echo $RRD | sed -e's/\.rrd$//'`"
MRTGTITLE=`grep -i "Title\[$MRTGSET\]:"
/usr/local/mrtg/cfg/devices/$HOSTNAME.cfg | cut -d: -f2-`
echo "$MRTGTITLE $LEGEND"
exit 0

You may have to modify it a little if you don't have seperate mrtg config
files for each device.
