Understood, and that will be handled appropriately as we encounter it
moving forward, I appreciate the professional advice on this more than
I'm likely expressing.
My only continuing issue using this script (and I believe my last
comment on this thread before today) is why the script completes its
task (correctly from what i can tell), but still reports that it
failed according to it's result codes that you gather for the check?

Also, as I continued to test how well it will work with regards to
expiring leases as they happen naturally (shortened lease time to 10
min), the delete function fails as it can't find the records with the
given args (Log link below):

Thanks Again,

The update is failing because, for some reason, the record does not 
exist. This has nothing to do with the script, unless it is because the 
script never created it in the first place, but then surely there would 
be something in the logs about this.

As I said, the script is run with the output of DHCP, this can succeed 
or fail, but it would be logged, at the same time, dhcp does its thing 
and this usually works. The script can fail, but dhcp work, the only 
thing that connects them is that dhcp runs the script with the required 
arguments (or not)
