{bb} Monitoring Netware 6 Server

[Shawn Price <shawn@pricehouse.net>]

Hello all,
 Lately I've been trying to find an easy, low impact way to monitor  
some system resources on several Netware 6.5 servers. I've found nw- 
mrtg which runs an external perl script ( nwstat.pl) to talk to a  
small client NLM on the server. For the life of me I can't get the  
mrtg config file that I've created for the server to parse properly.  
It seems that the external perl file is not being called, even though  
it is specified in the  'TARGET' field of the .cfg file.
 Has anyone here used this solution, or can someone point me in a  
better direction?

Thanks!
Shawn

Below are examples of the config file and the error I'm getting when  
I try to run 'mrtg Azrial.cfg'

 Here's a couple of stanzas of the Azrial.cfg file:

Here is a snippet of the error log:
