I found a thread that touches on this, but there was only a glancing reference to a good workaround until a fix is issued. To workaround the issue, use "sed" in the command line. The error is generated because you're working with a variable "time", which is defined by output from a command, e.g.,: RESULTS.......|time=0.999;;; etc. Since you can't change the name of the variable directly, you have to modify the command by piping its results to "sed"... In the command template definition, add to the end of the command: | sed "s/time=/xtime=/" and now, you have to reference your time variable with name "xtime". A little inconvenient, but it gets you where you need to be. Good luck. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12490#12490 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
