one solution for this would be
to check the existence of dhcpd.pid, this would be a file in my case it is located in /var/run. you can always do find/locate to find the path.
if you can find the file dhcpd.pid, then dhcpd would be running otherwise not.
Thanks,
Vasavi.

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to check
after every 3 minutes whether some dhcp server is enabled/running in the
network. Enabling dhcp client after every 3 minutes is a big over head, so I
would like to first search/look if any dhcp server running in a network, if
so i will enable dhcp client to get IP, else I will once again look for dhcp
server after 3 minutes.
Thanx in Advance.
