Thanks, my error in writing it up, but I think that the line continuations are
optional
in a function call like this, and even adding them, the error is actually there.
Otherwise it would have been a Python syntax error, and not a run-time rrdtool
argument error.
(Although I suspect that it is probably something equally silly!)
Here is the code with them, same result:
# start & end are set to desired times...
rrdtool.fetch( "/usr/local/database/test.rrd", \
"AVERAGE", "--start ", str(start), \
"--end ", str(end) )
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./checkData.py", line 63, in <module>
"--end ", str(end) )
rrdtool.error: unknown option '-
