[ptxdist] dhclient startup

[ptxdist] dhclient startup

[stefan.frick]

Hi All,

there may an obvious solution to that one, however I'm not quite sure:

I cross-compiled and installed dhclient and it works just fine if I  
start it over ssh. However I would have assumed that ptxdist installs  
some kind of start script into /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d, so that the  
dhcp client is starting after booting, but they are missing.

So my question would be:
Is there some kind of template for that script? Or did I miss something else?

Best, Stefan

In case you use ifupdown of busybox the DHCP client (we use udhcpc
from busybox itself) is started somehow "magically" on interface
activation and interfaces are defined in /etc/network/interfaces like
on Debian. The DHCP client is killed on shutting down the interface
again. See the verbose output of `ifup -av` and `ifdown -av`. Sorry if
this sounds not precise, it's just from my memory, but it may help you
to have a further look.
