I think you should remove 'cat' in the above Target line, I don't use mrtg
anymore (rrdtool is a bit better I think) so I don't know if this will work
for mrtg. Try running the commands between `` in your shell to see the output.
That extra cat in there makes no sense; there's no file to cat so it gives an
error. The output of healthdc needs to be piped through awk, not through cat.
Hope this helps,
