>When I add it, you will be able to run:
>pcpmon -a day1=... -a day2=... -s -1d -a day3=... -s -2d
Consider a syntax that will support wildcard expressions for the archive files
(e.g. /var/log/pcp/pmlogger/{node}/2000*) and optionally several directories to
search.
Given that the archives contain date/time stamp info, one could envision a
PCPMON syntax that allows the user to specify a date/time range (e.g. -beg
2000/06/01:09:00 -end 2000/06/30:17:00 -day 08:00-17:00).
Perhaps the ability to handle compressed formats (gzip,compress) would be
helpful since pmlogger_daily does this.
>Maybe I will add possibility to export the graph data, either

Consider the following forms of export :
(1) comma-delimited text file of the data points used to produce the graph
(2) .jpg graphic for posting to an web site of performance data
(3) postscript for hardcopy printing
Concurrent with export of the graphing results, consider a "batch-mode" of
operation where graphs can be produced and their results exported without
interactive use of PCPMON. This would support periodic trend analysis via
scheduled jobs.
