Starting in 2.4 broctl has an API, there's no reason to pipe it to grep/awk for getting status

# PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/bro/lib/broctl python
>>> from BroControl import broctl
>>> b = broctl.BroCtl()
>>> res = b.status()
>>> res.ok
True
>>> res.success_count
60
>>> for node in res.nodes[:3]: print node
...
(<BroControl.node.Node instance at 0x2376290>, True, {'status': 'running', 'name': 'nids-dev2a-1', 'started': '29 Aug 21:41:04', 'pid': 18025, 'host': '10.1.1.40', 'type': 'worker'})
