here y'go:

[rrdstatus]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=status

- --extra-script=/home/hobbit/server/ext/cputemp.sh --extra-tests=cputemp

# "rrddata" updates RRD files with information that arrives as "data"
messages.
# If you want RRD graphs of your monitoring BB data, then you want to
run this.

[rrddata]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data

I have, found a type or two and corrected them.  beyond that just the
ubiquitous mysterious
2006-10-20 12:02:55 Tried to down BOARDBUSY: Invalid argument
seems amiss.  Everything else is pretending to work ,-)

I think i'm out of actual "mechanical" errors; i think i'm just feeding
Hobbit garbage data.  And i still only have a text link instead of a
graph, sigh.  Anyone recommend any good RRD books..?  :)

thanks Henrik and everyone,
