Perl script for reading the MRTG information from the BBBS standard port.
To be run by mrtg (see example script and configuration info) to update
MRTG created pages for BBBS related information.

It is hosted at the 'Perl for Fidonet (FTN) Systems' project at SourceForge,
http://ftnpl.sourceforge.net.  The main code repository for it is browsable at 
http://ftnpl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ftnpl/trunk/scripts/BBBS/mrtgbbbs/. A
GIT mirror of the mrtgbbbs trunk in SVN is available at the following site:
https://github.com/bbbsdeb/mrtgbbbs.

Although support for it can be discussed in the ftnpl-develop mailing list at
Sourceforge, and it can also be discussed in the BBBS.ENGLISH echo;  support
for it is best done at the http://github.com/bbbsdeb/mrtgbbbs/issues site.

Archives of it can be found in the Project file downloads section.  They can
also be found on any FTN system that carries the BBBSUTIL File Echo, which is
distributed via the Filegate (www.filegate.net).

Note that the development for this has been done on a Debian Linux
system, running the Linux version of BBBS.  

The parameter to use for bbbsd is "mrtgd:16425", as in the following 
example on my linux system (check your manual for any differences
if you are running a different OS):

/opt/bbbs/bbbsd 1 7 smtpd:1025  mrtgd:16425  "fork" "quiet" "uid:bbbs" &

  An example cron entry for mrtg being run by the user bbbs, which is how
it is run for testing at 1:120/546, is in the file mrtg.cron.

  This an example cron entry for MRTG being run by root, as when it is run as
added to the default mrtg crontab file.
10,40 * * * * root if [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ]; then /usr/bin/mrtg /opt/ftn/mrtgbbbs.cfg; fi
