Thanks everyone for your kind help, advise and hints.

I finally got it working with gnuplot.

I had to make some changes to my code, but this is how it works.

1. Every 10 minutes MS task scheduler wakes up and executes a CMD file.
2. This CMD file
3. Executes a SQL script that generates a HTML table output on different data.
4. Generates an appropriate DATA files for the same.
5. Generates a script for gnuplot to load and generate the plots as gif files.
6. Loads gnuplot and generates the gif files.
7. Moved the images to their default directories.
8. By clocking on the column header (in the HTML report), I open a new window and display the plot for that parameter.

Works very nice ... I have a long way to go yet (to cover all statistics), but this has been a good start and good learning on GNUPLOT.
