Do you have suggestions of how to install mbuffer on SmartOS so I can get this script to work? Thanks!

Sorry I failed at reading your comment in a timely fashion! I precompile mbuffer in a SmartOS zone. I have a git repo that I checkout when initializing a new host server, that includes a precompiled version of the mbuffer program. The initialization script then runs bmake install from that precompiled directory. This way, I don't have to install gcc on the host server.

Zsnapper, I just installed according to the docs.
