RC script for DHCP
------------------
A Slackware start/stop script for the DHCP server that you can save as
"/etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd".
Don't forget to make the script executable:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd
You can add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that the DHCP
service starts when your server boots:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd ]; then
# Start the DHCP server:
/etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd start
fi
This is the content of the file "/etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd":
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.dhcpd
# This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# the ISC DHCPD service
#
# Put the command line options here that you want to pass to dhcpd:
DHCPD_OPTIONS="-q eth0"
[ -x /usr/sbin/dhcpd ] || exit 0
[ -f /etc/dhcpd.conf ] || exit 0
start() {
# Start daemons.
echo -n "Starting dhcpd: /usr/sbin/dhcpd $DHCPD_OPTIONS "
/usr/sbin/dhcpd $DHCPD_OPTIONS
echo
}
stop() {
# Stop daemons.
echo -n "Shutting down dhcpd: "
killall -TERM dhcpd
echo
}
status() {
PIDS=$(pidof dhcpd)
if [ "$PIDS" == "" ]; then
echo "dhcpd is not running!"
else
echo "dhcpd is running at pid(s) ${PIDS}."
fi
}
restart() {
stop
start
}
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in

echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"
