[rrd-users] Re: Problem with comment in RRDtool 1.2

[Michiel Timmers]

Thanks your all,

Yes it is a perl script.
I have now used the following:

$time = localtime(time);
$time =~ s/:/\\:/;
"COMMENT:Generated on\: $time\\r";

But that give me the following error:
unable to generate load graph: Garbage ': Sat Dec 31 12\:32:10 2005\r' after 
command:
COMMENT:Generated on: Sat Dec 31 12\:32:10 2005\r

I have looked at the search again but i can't find a solution.
