Hi Erich and Dave (and the list).

I have just checked, to learn more, the solution given by our friend Dave, to delay 
DHCPD starting.
It is ok for now, thank you very much Dave !   :-)

But, I want to understand how this instruction works.
I have read all the other scripts included in /etc/init.d/ and I have noticed that the 
number of 'S' arguments and their indice are
not the same for each of them.
Any pointer or short "mini howto" to explain this, please ?

I suppose that Erich 's assert script is better thant to delay a 'certain time' before 
to launch dhcpd, by surveying if all the
NICs, wired or wireless, are ok.

But, as I have said before, I am not a perfect Linux user, and I don't know how to 
script something for this funny system and I am
afraid to do something wrong with a bad modification in the original /etc/init.d/dhcp 
script...

Questions :

1/ Erich, please, must I add your assert just at beginning of the normal 
/etc/init.d/dhcpd script ?
   If I want to check 'eth' and 'wlan' NICs without counting them, must I only modify, 
as you said : WHAT="-e eth -e wlan"

2/ How to start to learn how to write this kind of script ?
   Is there some HOWTO somewhere with a lot of exemples ?

Many thanks to all of you, gentlemen !

Best Regards,
Francois BERGERET,
France.
