[rrd-users] Re: reset counter produces ugly results

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [rrd-users] reset counter produces ugly...:

*> Dave> I have one problem.  When the server application is restarted, the

this problem should affect mrtg as well given you reset your counter at the
right time ...
