Re: Startup network scripts

[Ajit Warrier <unixajit yahoo com>]

I am sorry, Rick. I must have missed your reply. 

What I am trying to do is this - when my RHL9 client
starts up, I want it to call a dhcp client daemon
which is at a certain location, instead of the default
daemon. That is, at startup, after eth0 is up, I want
it to execute /root/Downloads/udhcp/udcpc -H
hostname.domain.com instead of the default DHCP client
that comes with RHL9. How can I get this to happen?

Why do I want to do this? - For some reason the DHCP
client that came with RHL9 does not seem to be sending
the hostname to the DHCP server. Is there a way to
find out if it is indeed sening it? Like a tcpdump
from the time the computer boots up?

Thanks for your time.
