Hi Eric,
The attached works fine for me (using sh since I don't have octave).
#+name: uptime
#+begin_src sh
paste <(echo -e "1\n5\n15") <(uptime|sed 's/^.*average: //;s/,//g'|tr ' '
'\n')
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: uptime
| 1 | 0.02 |
| 5 | 0.06 |
| 15 | 0.05 |
#+begin_src gnuplot :var data=uptime :results silent
set xrange [0:]
set yrange [0:]
set title "uptime"
set xlabel "minutes ago"
set ylabel "load"
plot data w lines
#+end_src
Ensure that the data you're passing into gnuplot is a table and not a
string. Gnuplot blocks handle tables by writing them to a file, and
then replacing the variable with the file name. As I recall gnuplot
blocks assume string data already is a file name, so the variable is
replaced directly.
Best,
