Documentation for CLI and configurable polling interval

Hi, I'm testing 0.8.7 Beta4 and can't find any documentation for CLI and for the configurable polling interval.

How the crontab value /5 are releated to the polling intervall in the GUI ?
Can I configure the polling interval per device base?

How I must set the crontab value if i set the GUI polling interval to 1Minute?

Best regards
Ulli

Thanks for the pointers, I will add cli documentation (I'm currently working on SNMP V3 docs, so beg your pardon)
The 1 min polling issue is a bit more complicated. It will require some additional rra settings. We decided to keep them out of current 087, because setup is quite tricky. Experienced rrdtool users may be able to do it. It will be completely re-worked for 088.
You may refer to the 1 min polling patch in the Announcement forum hoping for help. I never used it, to be honest.
If all does not help, I will pm the required rra settings to you because I do not want to cause mayhem in the forums. If you do not fully understand what you're doing, you may be able to get very weird results.
