apt plugin from debians hobbit-plugins package
by wouter＠schoot.org 05 May '09

Hey all, The apt plugin, which checks if apt-get update is run regularly, doesn't seem to work since I've upgraded to Debian Lenny. The file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock doesn't get updated anymore and that's one of the three files it checks for the timestamp. after 1.5 days, it turns yellow, no matter how often I run apt-get update. Anyone with that same experience? I have this on multiple machines. Wouter

Graphing legend

Hi all I have noticed, that some graphs appear to have the colour legend at the top, and some at the side. (See attached) I can't seem to see what in the configs defines the location of the legend. Can anybody shed any light on this for me? Regards Vernon NOTICE: This email and any attachments are confidential. They may contain legally privileged information or copyright material.
