Well, since '-' marks the beginning of an option, you'd need to separate
options and timestamp/value-list tuples using '--' in this case. However, as
of version 1.3.5, this does not work either:
$ rrdtool update file.rrd -t ds -- -5:42 && date
ERROR: file.rrd: illegal attempt to update using time -5 when last update
time is 1239115940 (minimum one second step)
1239116951
Apparently, this feature got lost somewhere on the way. With this message,
I've forwarded the bug the upstream developers mailing list, hoping for a
comment.
Cheers,
Sebastian
