Re: OMAPI support for ISC DHCPd must die

[Robert Lazzurs]

Hello,

First of all +1 on this as these are changes I need :) 

Now as for the restart/reload. From what I remember ISC DHCPD requires a 
restart to notice any changes in the config file, HUP does not do the job.  
However I would suggest this is not a major issue as anyone depending on 
DHCPD should be running at least 2 servers. Also DHCP clients should be 
requesting a new lease way before the lease time expires and most do.

Just my thoughts, take care.

Additionally, OMAPI does not do the trick when dhcp.template has been
altered and you do a cobbler sync (thus dhcpd.conf has been altered);
the dhcpd service will have to be reloaded or restarted.

Could reloading the service(s) be considered rather then restarting them?

The /etc/init.d service script on RH/Fedora does a configtest before it
reloads (which, if the configtest is successful ends up being a
restart), but it doesn't do that for a service dhcpd restart; that's why
I'm asking to do a reload rather then a restart.

Just in case that's not consistent, I should point out that I've already

modified the restart-services trigger to do a config test ("-t")
and then a restart

So I think we're good...
