Indeed. On Linux, I use this to monitor the queue size with MRTG:

#!/bin/sh

n=`find /var/exim/spool/input -name '*-H' -print 2>/dev/null | wc -l`

echo $n

awk 'END{
  print "0"
  getline <"/proc/uptime"
  seconds=$1
  if (seconds>24*3600) {
    s=sprintf("%d days, ",seconds/(24*3600))
    seconds=seconds%(24*3600)
  }
  if (seconds>3600) {
    s=sprintf(s "%d hours, ",seconds/3600)
    seconds=seconds%3600
  }
  if (seconds>60) {
    s=sprintf(s "%d minutes, ",seconds/60)
    seconds=seconds%60
  }
  s=sprintf(s "%d seconds",seconds%60)
  print s
  print "'$1'"
  exit
}' /dev/null


A quick hack, but it gets the job done.
