Hello Sir ,

i would like to ask a question to you directly ,

already tried the general forum ,

i am trying to install a freeware monitoring tool munin which is perl based on a solaris 10 system ,

this tool uses rrdtool for its graphs ,

now : the problem is , i only found a compiled rrdtool without the perl bindings on the sunfreeware site ,

would you know of a site that offers the rrdtool with perl bindings ? (preferably already compiled version)

This would help me great deal !

Thank you in advance for your time and effort,

Yours sincerely,
Jan Van Camp
Belgium.

Hi Frank,

this should be fine

this should be fine too

rrdtool uses file locking ... so if things do 'not work' then it is
a bug and I would love to hear about it ..
