wait. my (and ifaik that is also where krw's wish comes from) desire to replace the script comes from the routehandler. dhclient exits when something else sets an address on the interface in question. right now we have a hack there. if dhclient itself set the address its pid would show up in the message on the route socket and we could easily ignore those. right now it is the pid of the ifconfig process spawned by the script. and dhclient doesn't know that pid. so the idea is to have dhclient set the address itself instead of having the script do it. just that task. not everything else the script does. aka the script stays, just not setting the address any more. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
