Hmm, my procallator.cfg has ...

plot {
title                   %g Disk Reads/Writes Per Second
source                  proc2
data                    disk_rd_(.*)/s
data                    disk_wr_(.*)/s
[...]

... so at least that graph should be upgraded automatically.

Caveats: - did procallator.pl write a new data file or did it juts append
            to the old one? Please check with "grep timestamp .../proccol-2006-08-04|wc -l",

          - did you restart the Orca process after having updated data
            files in place? I find that for finding new systems before next
            date in "find_times" this is neccessary; shouldn't matter here,
            though.

HTH,

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
