Notice the percent *and* a double quote are removed. It looks as if the part after 'vertical-label' (starting from 'speed in ') through 'LINE1:percentage#000000:' is seen as if it is a single quoted string with some newlines included. The word 'Speed' is appended to that (no whitespace) and RRDtool is presented 'in' as the next command. > One of the other commands includes > > ....

You either suffer from a cut'n'paste problem or your OS does something strange. Start by simplifying the examples. You don't need something as "complicated" as "speed in %", just 'speed' (without the quotes) will do for now. In general: start with the most basic form and keep extending until you're done. Also: try another interpreter. You're running windows but unless I'm mistaking there's a difference between command.com and cmd.exe HTH Alex -- 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
