I will now do the R'n'D required to also create data/graph archiving as you have suggested.
Again, thanks for your prompt help.

Presumably you are using a different program to access the graph files created in the temporary working directory, rather than using the routers2.cgi frontend? This is not the way it is intended to be done, and so it is naturally a bit awkward.
If you are doing this in order to archive the graphs, may I suggest you do it a different way -- instead, use the Archiving or rrd-archiving utilities? If you enable archiving in the routers2.conf, then you can click on the 'archive' button (or call the script with the appropriate options) in order to let routers.cgi archive the graph itself. Alternatively (and probably better) you can periodically run the rrd-archive script in the extras directory, which will archive all of the .rrd files (as defined) and will then allow the frontend to select a date to view the graph of.

I've been investiagting mrtg / router2.cgi for the last 4-5 weeks - relatively small in terms of many. But there's one simple thing I would like to do that seems either extremely difficult or I'm looking to hard at the problem ?
Not meaning to teach granny how to suck eggs, but you would normally create a day graph (tall) for any device by :-
1. Selecting that device in the web front end.
2. Selecting the interface to graph.
3. Selecting the graph style and range (e.g. day and tall)
4. Router2.cgi does it's magic and generates xxxxxxx-d-n2.png
5. Web front end displays the .png file.
My question is this, how can I create the exact same graph (with the same style and range) automatically by either a command prompt line or by running a script ? (with a day graph for example, don't really care about the range other than the last 24h's from when the command/script is run)
I have examined a script on the mrtg website from a contributor which scripts daily storing of these files, but doesn't seem capable of producing them. I have also examined the rrdtool documentation - but not really any the wiser.
Is it possible for someone to post the script that router2.cgi itself runs through to create the graph when the interface link is clicked - or is it possible for someone to show me where I've obviously gone way off the tracks ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Phil.
