No problem.  You can specify this using "--lower limit" "-25" and "--upper-limit" "35"

Also no problem.  You are in control, you run the script every 10 minutes

I take it you mean midnight your local time.  "--start" "00:00" should do.

"--start" "monday 00:00" or something close to this

RRDtool won't do this however you (your script) knows when it didn't
receive a value so you can query the database and reuse the last number.

If you don't run the script, RRDtool doesn't update the database.  Next
time when you do run the script, RRDtool will use the CURRENT rate or
it will insert an unknown entry.  If this behaviour is not desired you
will have to program the desired behaviour in your front end script.

Start by defining >exactly< what you want, this will automatically
result in a program and the only thing you need to do then is to transform
this program into code.  That last part is the easy part.

"current" and "last" ???
