Script #2: is executed by hobbitd_rdd via the --extra-script option.
This one extracts relevant information from the incoming status report
and echoes out the RRD creation parameters, the RRD file name, and the
data to stuff into the RRD.  Hobbit_rrd reads that and does what's
necessary to save the data in an RRD.
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..?
