[rrd-users] weird behaviour of update using multiple timestamps

[Reinhard Scheck]

When requesting multiple updates, like

/usr/bin/rrdtool update /var/www/html/cactiplugins/rra/router_traffic_in_33.rrd --template
traffic_in:traffic_out 1163322603:483515676:2688061683 1163322903:483545454:2688092391
1163323202:483582347:2688211858 1163323503:483614418:2688277889 1163323807:483694031:2688414496

I get an error:

ERROR: illegal attempt to update using time 1163322603 when last update time is 1163322603 (minimum
one second step)

While this would be kind of "expected behaviour" for the _first_ update item, all following ones are
not proceeded. This is verified by omitting only the first entry of the list:

[me at gandalf etc]# /usr/bin/rrdtool update /var/www/html/cactiplugins/rra/router_traffic_in_33.rrd
--template traffic_in:traffic_out 1163322903:483545454:2688092391 1163323202:483582347:2688211858
1163323503:483614418:2688277889 1163323807:483694031:2688414496

This one works. Is this "intended behaviour"? I'd better see omitting the first one but proceeding
with the following items. But, well, in this case the question arises: would the return code be "ok"
or would it be an error ...

Please comment
