Dirk, My fear is that the output I must massage won't be 100% consistent across different Linux distros. It would make me feel all "warm and fuzzy" if I knew I could count on a format that would simply give me what I needed when I needed (pie in the sky, right?).
Anywho, I probbaly will just end up 'parsing' and formatting the output.
