Hi,

It seems that there is no easy way to reload a running dhclient's
config file. A SIGHUP will cause it to die, dhclient -r will cause it
to release the lease and quit. I would like to make a change to the
enter-hooks.d and restart dhclient, but the only way I can find to do
it is some nasty thing like this:

PIDFILE=/var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid

dhclient=`/bin/ps --no-headers --pid $(cat $PIDFILE) -f | /usr/bin/awk '{for(i=8;i<=NF;++i) printf("%s ",  $i) }'`
/usr/bin/pkill -F $PIDFILE
$dhclient

If there is a nicer way to do this, I would love to know!
thanks!

I agree that such a feature would be needed.
