Modify the script so that it doesn't output "19\n-7\n0\n0\n" but instead
let it output "rrdupdate whatever.rrd N:19:-7" (fill in the proper name
for "whatever").  Then have your OS process this as a command, from within
unix this is done by surrounding it by backticks, I'm sure you'll find a
way if on windows.

Whatever variant you can think of will work, you can for instance read
the variables into a shell script and process them from there, or you
can create and then execute a batch file.  As long as the resulting
command (rrdupdate yourdatabase.rrd N:19:-7) is executed, you're fine.

No more MRTG, just the script and the rrdupdate command.
