[CS-FSLUG] Shell Scripting A Solution to Network Monitoring

[Josiah Ritchie]

I managed to do what I wanted with a one-liner (if you can call it that
being so long. :-)

cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases|tr -d "\n"|tr "}" "\n"|tr -d "\""|tr -d
";"|grep -v '^#'|gawk '{print $2 ": " $25 " = " $21}'

Now I seem to remember a way to make sure that none of the lines were
duplicates using grep, but the man pages isn't helping me out. Anyone
have that off the top of their head?

Thanks,
JSR/
