There is one source for rrdtool: people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker/webtool/rrdtool I am sure google agrees ... > Also a precise account of the exact commands given in a > particular case is far more useful than a philosophical > discussion of the issues.

I suggest to work your way throught the official tutorials you find on the website, they give you a good understanding of how things work. all the best tobi > > > > -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker @ ISG.EE, ETL F24.2, ETH, CH-8092 Zurich / // _ \/ _ \/ / System Manager, Time Lord, Coder, Designer, Coach /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker +41(0)44-632-5286 -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-users WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
