maybe i'm not being clear.  It's been a long day...

I understand that the goal is to get data to RRD in a format it likes
with data and filenames it understands.  That part is obvious.  The
concept is not the issue; i know i want to graph things!

What is not obvious is where to warn hobbit that this info is coming and
precisely how to send that info; "echo" clientside was, i thought, read
by the client's hobbitd as in a wrapper, but i guess not..?
