I have been able to acomplish what I wnated to doo with rrdtool, and the apropriate command, but my suspicion is thta the ones that are not there are intended to be links to this same excutable, which in turn changes it's behavior based upon what name it was called with. Tis is pretty stnadard in the *NIX world. Is my assumpion correct, and if so, why ae these links not created? -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs.
