dhcpd in foreground
by unInstance from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53DNF)
A while back after an upgrade my SlackWare started waiting 15 seconds during boot saying "Polling for DHCP server on interface eth0:".
The following command starts dhcpd
Code:/sbin/dhcpcd -L -t ${DHCP_TIMEOUT[$i]:-15} ${DHCP_OPTIONS} ${1}My $DHCP_OPTIONS is empty. I cannot find -L option in dhcpd mans. dhcp runs in background by default and my system starts it with no options but -t and -L, so got no clue what makes it run in foreground.
I would like to start DHCP polling in background like it was earlier.
