Thanks Marc, I didn't have any luck getting the plugin to work (it
worked enough to complain when I did syntax errors but didn't output
any data and there are some problems with running the python plugin so I
eneded up writing a little script in bash and running it via the collectd
exec plugin.
I've attached it in case anyone wants it. Seems to work and should be
compatable with the 5.x collectd plugin (see evil 1-liner in the script).
