[rrd-users] Problem with CDEFs, and question about PRINT

[David Ball]

  The Perl script I'm calling system() from does a ton of other stuff
besides generate the graph, so there is a point in this particular
case, but I understand what you mean.
  That said, if/when I get things working the way I want with
system(), perhaps then I'll try RRDs.pm methods I guess.
   Another person pointed out that I should be dividing by 8, and not
multiplying, which is absolutely right, and I had tried earlier, but
had since tried multiplying by 0.125 instead of dividing by 8 in case
it was a matter of the / not properly escaping.

CDEF:totbytes=inbits_tot,outbits_tot,+,0.125,*   and
CDEF:totbytes=inbits_tot,outbits_tot,+,8,/

   aren't working still.  *ponders*
