Hi Matt

when i understand correctly, that the length (the shortness ;-) of the
intervall is your concern, i want to say, that i've done it with 5min
steps a few days ago.

you can find a first sample here:

or mail2.gif for best resolution

im still wondering if i can reproduce it a portable and flexible way or
how to set up rrdtool-graphics to give usefull impressions (time-period
covered, resolution, labels of axis, several graphs on 1 gif and so on).

Tell me, when this is what your're looking for (otherwise i assume that
the kind of graphic people suspect from MRTG is something completly
different ;-).
