I'm trying to normalise the way dhcpd starts on our server (RH7.2); it was started from rc.local with a call to the binary, and I want to see it start (as intended) from the init script. There was no init script, so I copied it over from another 7.2 system, chowned to root and chmoded to 755, added it to chkconfig at run level 3, 4, and 5: everything seems good. However, service dhcpd start/stop/restart/status achieve absolutely nothing: the process continues to run on "stop", and does not start on "start", and "status" returns nothing. The script seems very simple (although I'm far from a bash script expert), so I don't know what is happening. Can anyone help?
