[rrd-users] Graphing based of specifc end time.

[Michael Van Der Beek]

Hi Rick,

Okay that --end works except for 1 graph 
For it reports the following
ERROR: start (1328730501) should be less than end (1328688001)

The command I'm using is 
rrdtool graph --slope-mode --start -6h --end 1328688001

That stumped me for a while why that error was happening.
That was the first graph command and it always generates wrongly, I didn't
not bother to look the other graphs which were more correct.

Until I realised that -6h is -6 hours from now.. not from the end time.
So now I think I need to modify the script so that the --start will have a value
of -6h (in seconds) from the end time seconds.

Then it should not generate an error.

Thanks for the pointer.

Regards,

Michael

Presumably with the --end option?
