I also use bash and variables in my scripts and everything is working fine. I simply use variable="contents of the variable" and then in rrd call $variable. I don't even escape that like you do. Although, I'm not that familiar with bash scripting fundamentals. And as for the comments I use similar lines. Like so: generated="Generated $date" . . . COMMENT:"$generated \\c" \ the \\c just centers the comment line horizontally. -Petteri _______________________________________________ rrd-users mailing list rrd-users@lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/rrd-users
