The patch looks fine and I'm happy to commit it aside from one minor 
detail.
Shell variables cannot start with a number, so maybe call it sixrd?
Yes, I know it's prefixed with new_, but that's lost when you're 
printing lease information which is also shell parse-able.

If you want to submit a new patch or just indicate you're happy with 
sixrd then I'll commit it.

You may want to at least post it to this list so others can use it :)
