>> now running into a problem with the length of the command line. it seems to truncate at 1024, causing interesting syntax errors.
I decided to go with the solution offered by Tobi (offered along with disparaging remarks about my choice of OS .. heh... :-) Tobi stated: "use rrdtool via a pipe using rrdtool - to start" so .. now... I write the parameters out to a file, then pipe it into RRDtool.exe Example: d:\rrdtool\src\tool_release\rrdtool.exe - < d: \tmp\emgtrrdtool.1820.txt it works :-) Thanks again Don Mahler SAIC -- 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
