Well, what I do is this: I store my data in a file somewhere on the Zenoss server the Zenoss user has access to. You could probably use the perf/device directory for instance.
Then I store out the data like so echo foobar > file This way it overwrites the value in the file (and I use one file per variable for simple parsing etc, though you could get far more fancy if you wanted to) each update so it's like a variable... At the start, or somewhere in the script, I read back in the value like so: VARIABLE=`cat file` Does this help? -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University feldman wrote, On 1/26/2009 5:08 AM: >> i can collect informations like time into a file on my device. > > > What I want to do is to trace file changes over time.
