Probably, instead of "googling", you should just look at the source
code, where "exit(2)" happens?
/usr/src2/contrib/isc-dhcp/client/dhclient.c:
[ ... ]
/* No leases were available, or what was available didn't work, so
tell the shell script that we failed to allocate an address,
and try again later. */
if (onetry) {
exit(2);
note ("Unable to obtain a lease on first try - exiting.\n");
}
...looks like there's an inverted order here; it probably want
to do the "note()" before the "exit()" (maybe that's just me,
though... 8-)).
This is already fixed, in -current, but you can move the exit(2)
in your local source tree, if you want...
