Try one of the following methods to write your paths: workdir: C\:\\rrdtool\\rrds workdir: C\:/rrdtool/rrds same for other paths. Perl is processing "C:\rrdtool\rrds" into "C:rrdtoolrrds" which is a dir that does not exist. RRDtool will probably have problems with ":" (in C:) as this is a separator inside the command: DEF:xyz=C:\rrdtool\rrds/file.rrd:name:AVERAGE will be processed into: DEF:xyz=C:rrdtoolrrds/file.rrd:name:AVERAGE and RRDtool is looking for the datasource named "rrdtoolrrds/file.rrd" in file "C", looking for "name"s in stead of AVERAGEs 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
