Package: dhcpcd5 Version: 6.10.1-1 X-debbugs-CC: r...@marples.name man page says:
-k, --release [interface] This causes an existing dhcpcd process running on the interface to release its lease and de-configure the interface regardless of the -p, --persistent option. If no interface is specified then this applies to all interfaces. If no interfaces are left run- ning, dhcpcd will exit. But in reality, # dhcpcd5 -k dhcpcd not running # pstree -al|grep dhc |-dhcpcd5 wlxf428530bfc87 |-grep dhc # dhcpcd5 -k wlxf428530bfc87 sending signal ARLM to pid 1312 waiting for pid 1312 to exit # dhcpcd5 -k wlxf428530bfc87 dhcpcd not running By the way, maybe it should also call itself by the name we called it, dhcpcd5.
