Wow :-)
Many thanks for the all the help and explanations!!!
I so appreciate everyone's willingness to help out and not be frustrated
with me getting up to speed.
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!
Anyhow, now that I am clear of how to go about I am getting a weird error:
using the command:
pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja -U -u
Sebastian you didn't have the -U flag in your command??
Anyhow adding cacti to the end of the line resulted in this:
r...@test:~# /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -t
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja -U -u cacti

Parsing catalog, may take a while...
Package cacti not in catalog...exiting.
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.

Kaya

Ok well I'm not having much luck with pkgutil as I've tried with this
command:
/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -i cacti
except that I keep getting a warning that
http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing is not in the catalog.
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 http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja -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.
