I understand that, but here are some points why I chose my post:
1: not sure about the persons knowledge re snmp
2: dont know the guys hardware and packages installed
3: seeing uptime and uname explains other parts of the MRTG system, i.e. required return values of the scripts
4: portabilty
5: most of the time server are cruising below their capacity, adding a few more cycles because calling scripts etc does not really matter
