Hello,

I'm making my way back to orca after many years.  Has anyone written an
Orcallator-like monkey for FreeBSD or Linux?

I found one person with a similar problem in March:
http://www.orcaware.com/pipermail/orca-users/2004-March/003653.html

Basically:
0-15:18 djh at r2j /usr/local/orca> orca orca.cfg
/usr/local/bin/orca: warning: '{' required after `group FreeBSD' at line 6 in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: warning: '{' required immediately after plot in `plot { source FreeBSD data load(\d+) data_type ABSOLUTE data_min 0 title FreeBSD Load' at line 13 in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: error: must set `column_description' for `group FreeBSD' in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: error: must set `date_source' for `group FreeBSD' in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: error: must set `find_files' for `group FreeBSD' in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: error: must set `interval' for `group FreeBSD' in `orca.cfg'.
/usr/local/bin/orca: loading configuration file `orca.cfg' got 6 error(s).

Okay, my config:
255-15:26 djh at r2j /usr/local/orca> cat orca.cfg 
state_file /usr/local/var/orca/orca.state
html_dir   /usr/local/www/data/orca
rrd_dir    /usr/local/orca/rrd
base_dir   /usr/local/orca

group FreeBSD {
        find_files                      data-in/FreeBSD_(.*)
        interval                        300
        column_description				first_line
        date_source                     file_mtime
}

plot {
        source    FreeBSD
        data      load(\d+)
        data_type ABSOLUTE
        data_min  0
        title     FreeBSD Load
}


YARG!  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks in advance for advice.

Sincerely,
-danny
