I expect RRDtool to do as I ask, not to read my mind and do something else which it thinks I would have wanted to ask instead. My final comment on this: The problem is not in rrdtool's code. The problem is in the parameters it was given. -- Alex van den Bogaerdt http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/ _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
