Script to repair spikes in all your .rrd files at once

This is a little Bash script I threw together that uses removespikes.pl to fix all the spikes in your graphs. It is useful to run nightly or weekly to fix spikes caused by power outages, and device reboots.

I doubt I'm the only one who made a script like this, so if you have a more elegant solution please let us know. Happy graphing!

Sorry, I'm Windows illiterate, but I think there are utilities out there to convert bash scripts to batch files. About the spikes you are getting, or not getting. It has to do with the counters used by cacti and how they roll over. But, there are alot of threads about this so I want waste anymore bandwidth on it.
