once more linecount

[martin.flemming at desy.de]

Hi !

Since i know that the  linecount-function in client-launch.cfg
counts the pattern even in the hole logfile, i wonder what people do
in the situation of logrotate ... what does it means for the rrd-file or 
the graph, going down to zero and starts again to count ?

On the other hand i want to count the pattern UID
to count all jobs are done ...

my client-launch.cfg

[k5cron01]
linecount:/var/log/debug
Jobs UID



On the client-side i see the right counting

[k5cron01] /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp # grep Jobs msg.k5cron01.txt
Jobs: 2322



But the graph gots no value .. and in the rrd-file stands follows ..


rrdtool dump lines.\,var\,log\,debug#Jobs.rrd
