Hi,
I use a small watchdog-script for this. It checks for a running dhclient
and starts it if it for some reason failed. Just start it in rc.local
with /etc/scripts/dhc-watchdog.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &
#!/bin/sh
if (grep dhcp /etc/hostname.sis0) then
while true; do
if (ps -aux | grep dhclient | grep -v grep) then
echo "ok.."
else
echo "down, launching dhclient.."
dhclient sis0
fi
sleep 10
done
fi
