Cacti

Howie, great work on the package! This is going to be a popular script.

I can run cacti2weathermap.pl from the command line and it creates the files perfectly. But when I run it via cron, it doesn't create/update the files. Any idea what might be causing this? As you can see from the example, I've been running the script as root: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sb...

Guys, I'm a complete noob here with Cacti, just stumbled over it. I've been using Nagios and MRTG/RRD for graphing, but I really like what I see so far with Cacti.
