I were able to send the data using `bb 1.2.3.4 "data
host.serial<newline>123456" where 123456 is the host's serial number.
I ofcourse needed to enable [bbdata] as you suggested. Now is there a
way I can pull the info using a `bb' command. I see the file in
~hobbit/data/data/HOSTNAME.serial in the hobbit server. Also will it
expire after a default time? I like it not to

Thanks
