Isn't it already done by this function in RRDCacheD and defining base dir? /* when using a base dir, convert relative paths to absolute paths. * if necessary, modifies the "filename" pointer to point * to the new path created in "tmp".

Yann, can you elaborate how you would handle relative path names on the server side ? cheers tobi -- Tobi Oetiker, OETIKER+PARTNER AG, Aarweg 15 CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland http://it.oetiker.ch t...@oetiker.ch ++41 62 775 9902 / sb: -9900 _______________________________________________ rrd-developers mailing list rrd-developers@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-developers
