This won't work.  If you're going to give the numbers through
stdin you have to do it like this:

    echo update host1users.rrd N:123 | rrdtool -

This *should* work.  You have to use GAUGE as your data source type.
Maybe you need to do a few updates in a row.


Why make it so difficult for yourself?  Start by reading the tutorial.
Once you understand the examples, alter some of them.  Once this works
as expected, make it harder for yourself.
