both items are leftovers from prior work.

if I didn't have the wc at the end of this and just output the first element on 
each line, gnuplot would disregard the newline and run them all together into 
one string, adding a space on the end of each line avoids this.

In my case, the data is already sorted by the SQL, so I wouldn't need to sort it 
again (although in the case of creating the pie charts, it's only one line per 
datacenter, so the uniq and the sed are not needed. As I said, leftovers from 
prior work)
