[rrd-users] Problem in updating a RRD database through an external script

[José Maria Costa Pereira]

Hi everybody!

	I have a simple script which outputs the following:

		rrdupdate database.rrd N:5:2

	The numbers 5 and 2 are only an example. It may return other
numbers. But one thing is for sure it always returns integer numbers. My
database has 2 data sources.

	First question: The N stands for NOW (in N:5:2)?

	Second question: Do I need to have a \n in the end of the line:
rrdupdate ....  ?
	
	Third question: This is the error I get when running the script that
outputs the rrdupdate

		D:\scripts>perl c:\mrtg-2.9.17\bin\mrtg stats.cfg
		Daemonizing MRTG ...
		Do Not close this window. Or MRTG will die
		ERROR: Cannot update d:\mrtg\pri\database.rrd with
'999014266:3:2:-1' 
		expected 2 data source readings (got 3) from
999014266:3:2:-1:...


	I hope I've made myself clear. Thanks in advance for the help!!

	Best regards,
