[hobbit] Sending data from script to an rrd

[Hubbard, Greg L]

You got it, big man -- just remember to "pitch" what you know you can
"catch".  Since the catcher script KNOWS which test it is parsing, you
can be as sloppy as you want.

OH, so, you know how to craft your greps and awks based on the MSG you
are sending from the client, is that it?  I don't need to find and
examine that passed data, because i can see its structure based on the
$MSG i am sending at the end of the client script.  Right?

shyeah, like i'm qualified to do so.

this is where i was getting conf00zed.  I was wondering what psychic
powers you people were employing to know how to pick out what you wanted
blindly :).

and this i'll just have to look up to make sure of.

Thank you!  I think it's starting to coalesce in my congealed brain...
