Hi,

MRTG accepts input also e.g. from shell scripts. I have here a small
script
which gives informations for the actual number of faxes in the faxqueue
:

---------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh 
cnt=`/usr/local/bin/faxstat -s -a | wc -l` cnt=$[$cnt-4]  

if [ $cnt -lt 0 ] ; then  
  cnt=0 
fi  
echo $cnt 
echo $cnt 
echo " " 
echo "Faxes on henko"
---------------------------------------

and the following entry in mrtg.cfg for this script

---------------------------------------
#
# faxes henko
#
Target[f_henko]: `/usr/local/mrtg/faxcnt.sh`
YLegend[f_henko]: Faxes
ShortLegend[f_henko]: Fax
MaxBytes[f_henko]: 100
Options[f_henko]: gauge, noinfo,nopercent
Title[f_henko]: henko.rgw-express.de (): Number of faxes to send
PageTop[f_henko]: <H1>Faxes send from henko.rgw-exress.de
 <TABLE>
   <TR><TD>System:</TD><TD>henko.rgw-express.de in Frankfurt</TD></TR>
 </H1>
 </TABLE>
