This is quite old... A lot has happened since then. Time parsing has been changed a lot and several bugs seem to exist e.g.: ERROR: start time: invalid year 1970 (should be either 00-99 or >1900) In addition, after "parsetime.c" finally accepted "01/01/70", some other routine (in rrd_create.c) insisted that: "ERROR: the first entry to the RRD should be after 1980" > Any clues please? Some suggestions; combine as needed. * Change the code so that it does what you want. * Do not use rrdtool to draw pictures, just like you do not use a screw driver to drive nails * Try using %H (for hours) or %M (for minutes) since midnight if the time span is short Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I think this currently is the best there is. If there is a smart way to do what you want, I'm sure someone else will suggest it here. cheers -- Alex van den Bogaerdt http://www.vandenbogaerdt.nl/rrdtool/ _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
