Thanks for the tip.
So the way it works, is that...
1. I should start udhcpc from an init.d script at boot time with the
"-s" switch to point it to a script that will be called each time an
event occurs that udhcpc must handle
2. Under normal circumstances, I should just let udhcpc keep running
in the background and it will handle events on its own
However, how should I tell udhcp that I want it to perform a task such
as releasing a bail? Should I call it through eg. "udhcpc release",
send a signal, or go through the runsvdir/runsv?
Incidently, I'm not clear about how udhcpc and runsvdir/runsv work
together
BTW, how should I launch udhcpc from the init.d script? Is it required
to use the "-f" switch?
