The problem appears to be that you have the source data files and the
output files Orca wants to generate in the same directory.  I would
either move the cc* files to another location or change where the
HTML files and RRD files will be created.

Blair

     I would change the configuration file from this:

     group corea {
     find_files              
     /home/users/dana_sit/WWW/labo/automation/plot/cc
     column_description   first_line
     date_source               column_name timestamp
     date_format                 %s
     interval                 60
     #reopen                       1
     }

     group corea2 {
     find_files              
     /home/users/dana_sit/WWW/labo/automation/plot/cc2
     column_description   first_line
     date_source               column_name timestamp
     date_format                 %s
     interval                 60
     #reopen                       1
     }

     To this:

     group core {
     find_files              
     /home/users/dana_sit/WWW/labo/automation/plot/(cc\w*)
     column_description   first_line
     date_source               column_name timestamp
     date_format                 %s
     interval                 60
     #reopen                       1
     }

     This should fix the lack of group names you are seeing on the HTML
     page.
