using mrtg to monitor iowait on a solaris (10) machine (quick)

just as the name reads – this command, when run with ssh (or any other method of choice) will output just iowait – can be changed to anything else

#!/bin/bash
OUT=`su - user -c "ssh user@10.13.128.15 \"iostat -Xpnc | tail -n 1 \"" | awk '{print $3}'`
echo $OUT
echo $OUT

the reason i used su is that i needed to do this as a different user due to ssh keyless login

dual echo $OUT is for proper formatting to mrtg

here is a snippet of my mrtg.conf:

i know that this is sloppy code – but in a quick bind it did the trick
