[plug] Monitoring Computer Usage (X)

[Ben Jensz]

If you could figure out a script to read the data you could then feed it 
into something like Cacti (www.cacti.net) to graph and keep track of the 
data.

You can do lots of things with Cacti and you can use scripts to gather 
the data, rather than only being able to use SNMP queries.
