Ah right. That assumes I have an X server available though, which isn't usually true on my server where I want a cron job to generate the graphs. I guess I could mess about with Xvfb, but I should probably take a look at grap(1) anyway... graph(1) has a nice easy interface but I could do a better job of axes labels and the like with finer control. OTOH, nothing to stop me inserting my own plot(1) commands in graph's output... Well I should work something out. Thanks Steve, Erik. -sqweek
