[rrd-users] Re: Graph: parse DEF problem

[Stephan Harren]

If you use it in a script, escape the ":" in the way you should do.
Another (preferred) way is to put the path into a variable (which you anyway 
should do to save a lot of typing when writing/changing your script). I think 
this will do.

Best regards,

Stephan
