Yeah was looking for something to use via the cacti server and parse there
but the output of poundctl will do

I'm looking to watch over the amount of connections each backend recives
from the frontend. What I'm looking for is "a simple way" to output data as
per my skilled script:

> In my experience, segfaults in poundctl are almost always caused by the
binary for poundctl and pound being compiled from different versions or
architectures… Internally the protocol is basically a binary representation
of the memory used in pound… So if you use a 32bit poundctl with a 64bin
pound, or poundctl from a different version, it’s very likely the internal
structures don’t match and badness will ensue.
