The core functionality of it was removed in dhclient.c revision 1.12. The option was removed in dhclient.c revision 1.20. The variable save_scripts was removed in dhclient.c revision 1.23. As long as it seems no one noticed this for a while, it would be best to remove it from usage and man page ;) or reimplement (although, original dhclient from isc-dhcp doesn't implement this). I filled a PR bin/60642 with patch for removal ;) Regards, Paulius
