Hi,
I encountered the same issue after a crash of the dhcpd process. The
daemon could not be restarted without deleting the old PID file first.
I modified the /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server script on my servers from :
|if [ -e "$PIDFILE" ]; then log_failure_msg "dhcpd service already
running (pid file $PIDFILE currenty exists)" exit 1 fi|
To :
|if [ -e "$PIDFILE" ]; then if read pid < "$PIDFILE" && ps -p "$pid" >
/dev/null 2>&1; then log_failure_msg "dhcpd service already running (pid
file $PIDFILE currenty exists)" exit 1 fi fi|
