--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.2.4-7 Severity: wishlist Hi, It seems that there is no easy way to reload a running dhclient's config file. A SIGHUP will cause it to die, dhclient -r will cause it to release the lease and quit. I would like to make a change to the enter-hooks.d and restart dhclient, but the only way I can find to do it is some nasty thing like this: PIDFILE=/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid dhclient=`/bin/ps --no-headers --pid $(cat $PIDFILE) -f | /usr/bin/awk '{for(i=8;i<=NF;++i) printf("%s ", $i) }'` /usr/bin/pkill -F $PIDFILE $dhclient If there is a nicer way to do this, I would love to know! thanks! micah -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages isc-dhcp-client depends on: ii debianutils 4.3.4 ii iproute 1:3.9.0-3 ii isc-dhcp-common 4.2.4-7 ii libc6 2.17-5 isc-dhcp-client recommends no packages.
