[rrd-users] NO ERROR returns trying to update the rrd file which no longer exits.

Tobi,

Thank you for your reply, and sorry for my late response.

What I try to do is to call rrdtool functions such as "rrd_update" from
object code with use of rrdtool library and to differentiate the subsequent
procedure depending on the returned value of rrdtool functions.

For instance, program will terminate when rrd_update returns zero, which
means normal, and program will terminate with saving the input (timestamp &
the value) to a file when rrd_update 
returns non-zero value, which means abnormal.

I want to get non-zero value when rrd_update tries to update the rrd file
that longer exists because it was accidentally removed or anything, so as to
save the timestamp and the value, but rrd_update returns zero in this case
as I wrote in the previous e-mail.

Regards,

Yuya Hashimoto
