[rrd-users] CDEF problem

Hi,

some shells (like bash, csh.. to name a few) dont like the use of ( or ) in their
scripts, as this represents some indirect variables... 
simple solution:
put " around your definitions... like this:

"CDEF:prec=PREV(pippo)" \
"...."

it works for me.. but i dont know which shell you are using to execute your
rrd-command.

HTH

Rene.
