That means you have applied something like this?

  pid=$!

Then you should have statistics data like this coming in:

build8s-dam# ls -l /var/opt/csw/orca/orcallator/build8s-dam/
total 11
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other       7137 Apr  7 09:20  
orcallator-2009-04-07-000
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other          1 Apr  7 09:01 orcallator.pid

Copy these from the clients to the host doing the graphing e. g. via  
rsync.

Are you collecting data for services? If you run orcallator.se you  
must run
   /opt/csw/bin/orca -v /opt/csw/etc/orcallator.cfg
to generate the graphs for the collected data.

Do not stop the process, start it in background and make sure the data
from the collection hosts is transferred regularly to /var/opt/csw/ 
orca/orcallator.
Then the webpages should be updated.

Thank you very much for your commitment. I apologize for not
having enough time to build a proper releasable package of Orca
right now. My day is currently stuffed with private things and
work-related stuff and the little remaining spare time is needed
for work on the build system itself.


Best regards
