Would you be willing to share this cacti script?

Hi Mike -

We enabled WMI on our public computers (for Windows XP) and setup a
cacti server (http://www.cacti.net/) to monitor usage.  A simple little
script polls all our site machines every 5 minutes and cacti graphs the
usage.  We also use it to graph application usage, across our 27 public
sites computer labs.
