Uhmm, wow. That was brilliant. No magic here, but magnificent mathematics at work. Taking the minutes and dividing by the requested interval, and then multiplying by the interval yields the requested interval (int was instrumental, I see this now). and as for using a hash to count the number of BINDS/UNBINDS per interval is inspiring to me.

I've often tried to incorporate hashes into programs to take advantage of it's inherent nature to group data (am I saying that right? *shrug*), but I do not use that often enough to recognize problems like this, that a hash makes easier to deal with.

What is that skill called? I want to say data-something or other.

Thank you for the quick reply, it works beautifully.

Now, that's not to say I've let the rest of you off the hook, I'd still like to see how you might have tackled this problem. I'll add the above to my repertoire of code that I routinely search through to help me conquer these types of problems.

Very funny Scotty... Now PLEASE beam down my PANTS!
