We could do that as well. However, IMO the current behavior is still correct. The server only fails to start up whenever you configure it to use rrdtool and the binary is not found. The server just lets you know about the situation: "You *did* command me to draw graphs, but the tools aren't available; thus, I cannot do my work. Fix it.". Do you guys think that a "soft" error/warning would be better in this case? -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
