Thanks for the answer to my question.
From my understanding, if I add the script to the search/bin dir in order to perform a search against it I nned to add a stanza to the inputs.conf file. This all seems to work, however, I have to add an interval entry to the stanza (or the system updates the data every 60 seconds). This is not really what I want to do. I wuld really like to get the data strainght from the script and update some controls from that script. I don't want splunk to aggregate the data. Any ideas would be great.
