[rrd-users] Re: Multi threaded Perl scripts using RRDTool

[Richard Burton]

Hi Alex

Thanks for the reply, I really need to run multiple rrdupdates at the
same time as I have loads of data in text files to turn in to RRD files
and running 1 update command at a time isn't quick enough to keep up
with the amounts of text files I am producing.

Thanks anyway :-)
