init script fails to correctly shut down dhcp 3.0.3-r9 localhost etc # /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop * Stopping dhcpd ... No /usr/sbin/dhcpd found running; none killed. [ !! ] localhost etc # ps aux | grep dhcp dhcp 23153 0.0 0.4 3920 2480 ? Ss 01:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -q -pf /var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -user dhcp -group dhcp
Does the pid in /var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid match the pid running?
pid file was not being created properly due to local misconfiguration of directory permissions in /var.
