All,
Again, many thanks for your help. I went with the "old fashioned" fix
and changed my gmetric line from `w | head -1 | awk '{print $6}'` to
`who | wc -l`. This seems to have fixed problem of large blank spaces
in my graphs.A summary - I added a metric that was malformed, and sent text when it was supposed to send an integer. This caused gmetad to barf. Fixes to my gmetric line were suggested, and Martin posted a patch to make gmetad more robust, which will appear in gmetad 3.0.3. Martin, are you still interested in me filing a bug somewhere? Also, rather than test the patch you sent, I fixed the metric. Are you interested in me testing the patch so as to QA your fix, or is that not worth while? Of course, I should really wait another day before sending this message, to make sure that I'm not just getting lucky right now. But my graphs have been happy for the last 10 minutes, which is a good sign. Hooray for open source! :) -ben -- Ben Hartshorne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.hartshorne.net
