[xymon] custom check / graphs with multiple rrd files

[Vernon Everett]

Funny you mention that, I just completed a script that does disk iostat, and
graphs all the columns from an iostat -X
(Solaris centric, but I am sure you could mod it for any other OS)

The graphs show up in trends.
For us it made no sense to create an alert based on iostat, but rather to
record it for and use it as a forensic tool if/when things went bad.

It has been running in test overnight, and if all looks good, I will post it
later today.

Cheers
    Vernon
