Tobi, This would be a major RFE for us as well. We're developing a distributed system using RRD and the ability to use files off multiple machines would be a big plus. As for now, I think there are issues with byte-ordering or system architecture, something that prevents one from just transferring files and using them. Rather than using commands of some sort, I would recommend a URL-based schema of some sort (easily parseable by existing libraries) and then a lightweight RRD-specific daemon to handle the reading of the file. As far as I can tell, there's no reason to send the entire file back and forth over the network if all you're doing is, say, graphing something specific. krd, for now, what would probably work best is if you NFS mounted the machines. If they're all the same architecture/OS, it should work just fine. * Philip Molter * DataFoundry.net * http://www.datafoundry.net/ * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
