[mrtg] Re: Using an external program as a target

[Jeff Warnica]

man dhcpd.leases:

FORMAT
       Lease descriptions are stored in a format  that  is  parsed  by  the
same
       recursive   descent   parser   used   to   read   the   dhcpd.conf(5)
and
       dhclient.conf(5) files.   Currently, the only declaration that is
used  in
       the dhcpd.leases file is the lease declaration.

        lease ip-address { statements... }

grep lease /var/state/dhcpd.leases|wc -l

I dont have a populated dhcpd.leases to check that on, but itll get you a
number..
