This is an interesting one. I'm sure you have studied the man page very
thoroughly. Have you considered doing both? That is, both polling and
showing snmpCollect data? It says that if you use -browse (not browse),
then both polled data and snmpCollect data is used. The File..Update
option would apparently be greyed out. Then suppose you set the
-poll period to 1 hour. I wonder if it would update the graph once an
hour with the snmpCollect data as well as that hourly datapoint?
The man page does list the signals that the program recognizes, and
there is not one for 'File..Update'.
Not what you are looking for, I know....

Hi all,
I have a question regarding xnmgraph (running on AIX 4.3.1, Netview 5.1.3):
- does anybody know a trick to trigger xnmgraph-windows to update their
data (like from Menue "File -> Update Data") from batch?
Best Solution would be a "kill -xx" to send, but I don't believe this
works. But maybe there exists a little program to capture X-events and send
them afterwards to the applikation.
Background: for "proactive Network Management" (oh, I like this phrase...
but it sells very well) we use a lot of xnmgraph-windows to show the data
we collect with snmpCollect. From time to time (at least every morning and
evening and in case of any performance problems due to "bad network
performance") I have to update all these windows. A little script, looking
for all xnmgraph-windows on my display and sending them some sort of event
or signal, would be very nice...
I don't want to configure these windows to poll themselves as we use a lot
of different polling-cycles, depending on the mib-objects and devices we
poll, and I want them to be configured in snmpCollect and not in every
xnmgraph-window we have opened.
Thanks for any help
