from the dhcpcd man page:
-t timeout
Specifies (in seconds ) for how long dhcpcd will
try to get an IP address. The default is 60 sec
onds. dhcpcd will not fork into background until
it gets a valid IP address in which case dhcpcd
will return 0 to the parent process. In a case
dhcpcd times out before receiving a valid IP
address from DHCP server dhcpcd will return exit
code 1 to the parent process.
Now what this does not tell you is that if you set the variable
DHCPCDARGS in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? like so:
DHCPCDARGS=" -t 5"
ifup will the value to dhcpcd when the interface is started.
