Description Jeff S 2006-08-23 22:41:36 UTC

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?

Comment 2 Jeff S 2006-08-24 10:38:47 UTC

pid file was not being created properly due to local misconfiguration of directory permissions in /var.
