Yes, it finally works (updating with a U). But it would be better to be
able to give the new value to rrd instead of setting "U", because then
you don't miss values just after the reboot. I mean if you poll just
after the reboot (say at 09:30) and set "U" then you miss a value that
in fact isn't unknown.

OK, maybe I'm not clear enough... hard to explain.
