Hi Dave,

maybe you tried the version I released last year ? I could send you the 
new version if you want.

The first issue is true if any graphes are missing. I will probably add 
checks to force display of reports even with no graphes on it. For the 
french texts, I know this is a big issue thus I've translated (nearly) 
everything in english. Sorry, to have not do that before :(

All my scripts were written in shell, thus they won't run on windows 
natively. Indeed, these shell scripts will generate five PNG files from 
the RRD collected by the Hobbit/Xymon server. I'm using the rrdtool 
command line to achieve this task. Maybe someone knows how to do that 
under Windows operating system.

Thanks for your feedback.

ThomaS

My first issue was the reports would not run if any piece of data was missing.  Second, the text was in French.  The second part was almost easily overcome thanks to GOOGLE and lots of cutting and pasting.
