RE: Starting DHCPD

Danny:

Create a script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dhcpd.sh something like this:

--script starts below---
case $1 in
start)
echo Starting DHCP Server
/usr/sbin/dhcpd
;;

stop)
echo Stopping DHCP Server
killall dhcpd
;;

*)
echo Usage: $0 {start|stop}
exit 1
esac

exit 0
--script ends above---

Make sure it is executable by root, ends in .sh and lives in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d

Cheers,

Barry

 Subject: Starting DHCPD


 Hi all,

 I'm making changes to my network which will require using my own
 DHCP server.
  It's all set up  ready to go, but I can't find any way of getting it to
 start on boot up.

 There's nothing that I can find in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or
 /etc/rc.conf, 
 no startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

 I've used this DHCP server before (have recently been using a
 different one
 on the network) so I know it can work, but just can't find any way of
 starting it automatically.

 Thanks for all replies

Thanks Barry,

I wonder though, if this is the default way of starting it, where did my
original script go 8-(

If you're using the net/isc-dhcp3 port, then you certainly should have
some sample startup files installed.  These files are add-ons provided
by the port.  You can find them in /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3/files --
just copy isc-dhcpd.sh.sample to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh and
you should be good to go.

Cheers

Matthew

if you installed it via the ports, it should install:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1662 Apr 14  2002 isc-dhcpd.sh.sample

look for that, if not, i can email you mine
