Nope, that still does not resolve the problem. There is no active pid under the conditions that I am having, only the fact that the file /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid is still there. I personally don't like the information result either. I like it to just kill the pid, remove the file and start eth0. These kinds of problems seem to crop up when there are hard freezes on the system or some other error, so I don't think the brute force approach is incorrect for this. I am not aware of any bad things that can happen (unless of course the dhcp server is down). Do you still have the original script just for comparison sake?
