Wow :-) <br>
<br>
Many thanks for the all the help and explanations!!! <br>
<br>
I so appreciate everyone's willingness to help out and not be
frustrated with me getting up to speed.<br>
<br>
Ok, I seem to have missed the point that on Juergen's developer page
(the link that was provided) there are instructions on how to use.... -
my bad!<br>
<br>
Anyhow, now that I am clear of how to go about I am getting a weird
error:<br>
<br>
using the command: <br>
<pre>pkgutil -t <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja">http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja</a> -U -u

</pre>
Sebastian you didn't have the -U flag in your command??<br>
<br>
Anyhow adding cacti to the end of the line resulted in this:<br>

Parsing catalog, may take a while...<br>
Package cacti not in catalog...exiting.</small><br>
<br>
<br>
In the mean time I managed to discover the Sun Management Center too
which also graphs but I don't know if there's a fee for that or if I
can use in conjunction with Cisco network equipment to monitor their
h/w?? I guess I will need to contact Sun for that one. Am just gona
keep this as a backup plan in case Cacti doesn't work as I really like
Cacti since anything running the SNMP protocol I can monitor.<br>

    <pre wrap="">Ok well I'm not having much luck with pkgutil as I've tried with this

I'm sure I need to add the testing catalog like adding a repo to a 
package manager system but not sure where to find the catalog URL??

Good, we are on the right track, pkgutil is installed :) Now use
Juergen's experimental repo instead of the testing (see my other email
on the topic) and use pkgutil's -t switch to specify the repo.

  pkgutil -t <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja">http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja</a> -u cacti

Instructions are also given on the experimental overview page [1]. The
-U switch given there isn't really needed as pkgutil will do an implicit
catalog updated whenever it is called with -t (doesn't do any harm
though). Should update the instructions.

Sebastian
