OK, thanks Marek.

I've CC'd Jeff for further info.

No problem - you too!

Something similar exists - have a look at pmsnap(1) in the pcp-gui git
tree, code at pcp-gui/src/snap & man page pcp-gui/man/man1/pmsnap.1
The advantage of pcp-graph is that it doesn't need an X server, but if
you don't mind that it might work out for you (I haven't used this for
awhile, but it used to work & automates the Xvfb startup IIRC).

cheers.
