Actually, the problem is VERY different from the usual multiply/divide by some value to get 'real' units. The problem is about doing a calculation that MUST be done on a 5 minute sample period, in a graph where the resolution is 1day (86400). The calculation is such that doing the same sums over anything but a 5 minute sample period does NOT produce the right answer. That is the danger of reading the first few lines and thinking it's the same question we've seen many times before. Back to the question, if it's just a matter of getting the right value to print in the legend, then one route (I think) would be to do two runs through rrdtool. The first would generate no graph, just do the calculations at a resolution of 5 mins and output the answers. The values can then be included in the script that generates the graph on a second run. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
