<TD vAlign=top>one solution for this would be <BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>if you can find the file dhcpd.pid, then dhcpd would be
running otherwise not.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Vasavi.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Tue,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>
