I said it because you wasn't providing information
I needed to understand the problem, yet expected people
on the list to help you.

This reply is wrong. Much better reply would be:


"I tried -vvv and looks like my 1.13.3 does not support -v:

# udhcpc -f -vvv -i eth0 -s /bin/udhcpc.script
udhcpc: invalid option -- v
BusyBox v1.13.3 (2010-01-26 07:47:42 CET) multi-call binary.

Usage: udhcpc [-Cfbnqtvo] [-c CID] [-V VCLS] [-H HOSTNAME] [-i INTERFACE]
        [-p pidfile] [-r IP] [-s script] [-O dhcp-option]...
...

I will build 1.15.3 and try with it"


Similarly, "My computer reboots" is not exactly a full explanation.
Does it start normal shutdown with messages "Sending TERM" and such,
or does it just reboots at once - BOOM?
