Hello all, Thanks to those of you that replied to my question. It really helped, heck it fixed my problem :-) My other problem that I wasn't able to get my perl scripts that update the RRD to run thru cron. I tried 2-3 different approaches.
1) Tried using the 'use RRDs' method, and invoke the updates as Perl functions 2) Make a system call to update the RRD `rrdtool update ...` 3) use pipe to update the RRD "./perl_script | rrdtool - All of these methods work independently, meaning that if I run them thru the command line, I have no problems. It is just when I run them thru cron that nothing happens. I'm running as root, in Mandrake 7.2 from the / directory. I asked around and people told me to try and give absolute path names, which I did, and still nothing happened. Thanks once again :-) Mohammed -- 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
