dhcp status apps

[Stulic,Damjan]

The script needs more then include fix:
 - During the parsing of the dhcpd.lease it discards any "lease expired"
statements, and does not reduce the number of active leases. 
 - Plus, for our production 65+Mb of dhcpd.leases the script is very
slow.

I my self have been toying with the idea to fix the script, but looks
like there are other tools out there that could be up to date and
perform the same thing.
