Turns out that the 'tr' part can be dropped as well; the subshell
redirection is smart enough for the newlines to be processed correctly.
All you need to do with the output from grep is reduce it to only column 4.
I habitually do that via e.g. "cut -d ' ' -f 4" instead of "awk {print
$4}", but the result should be the same, and awk is more versatile.
