<div dir="ltr">Hi. As I mention on this question (  <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13878706/how-can-i-check-dhcpd-conf-against-syntax-error-without-running-dhcpd">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13878706/how-can-i-check-dhcpd-conf-against-syntax-error-without-running-dhcpd</a>


  ), I want to get exact error from dhcpd -t -cf command.<br>


<br>


I tried dhcpd -q -t -cf <file> but this prints nothing. Do I have to use regex? Or is there any way to print only what error is?<br>
