Timezone ? Your email says +2 (European summer time ?), so midnight by your clock is 22:00 UTC. RRCTool only uses UTC. In any case, the start time in an RRD file is largely irrelevant. Once you've done a single update, then that will set the minimum time for a future update, and the start time of each consolidated data set will be determined by the step time, number of PDPs per CDP, and the number of CDPs to keep. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
