Getting exact error from dhcpd config test

[Neff, Glen]

I encountered this issue as well. I had to punt:

# Re-run test that failed, only give more verbose test failure output.
dhcpd -t -cf /tmp/dhcpconfmaint/dhcpd.conf.tmp > /tmp/dhcpconfmaint/dhcpd-t.fail 2>&1
# Count lines in error output.
fullerrorcount=`wc -l < /tmp/dhcpconfmaint/dhcpd-t.fail`
# Determine lines without top header
withouttopheader=$(( $fullerrorcount - 4 ))
# Determine lines without bottom header
withoutbottomheader=$(( $withouttopheader - 18 ))
tail -$withouttopheader /tmp/dhcpconfmaint/dhcpd-t.fail | head -$withoutbottomheader

Subject: Getting exact error from dhcpd config test

Hi. As I mention on this question (  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13878706/how-can-i-check-dhcpd-conf-against-syntax-error-without-running-dhcpd  ), I want to get exact error from dhcpd -t -cf command.

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?
