Simple python script to send a collectd notification from the command line.

# collectd-notify: send notifications to collectd from the command line
#
# Requires collectd to be configured with the unixsock plugin, like so:
#
# LoadPlugin unixsock
# <Plugin unixsock>
# SocketFile "/var/run/collectd-unixsock"
# SocketPerms "0775"
# </Plugin>
#
# Based on collect.py: the python collectd-unixsock module by Clay Loveless.
