[rrd-users] Strange behavior when using CDEF to divide twovalues

[Wesley PA4WDH]

Hi Alex,

I just saw your message on the rrdtool-developers mailing lists. Things make sense now, but even with that information it took me a while to notice COUNT is indeed an operation listed in the rrdgraph_rpn manual :-)

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,
Wesley
