The killall.sh script uses the following code to find the PIDs of running
DHCP client daemons:

pids=$(ps ax | grep 'udhcpc\|dhclient\|pump' | sed 's/^[
]*\([0-9]*\).*/\1/')

However, (1) this picks up the PID of the grep process itself:

$ ps ax | grep 'udhcpc\|dhclient\|pump'
15769 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep udhcpc\|dhclient\|pump


(2) I don't see where udhcpc is started.  In dhcp.c only
dhclient3, dhclient and pump seem to be supported.

(3) ps has built in output formatting so sed isn't really needed.

Better would be:

for CLIENT in dhclient3 dhclient pump ; do
  pids=$(ps --no-headers -o pid -C $CLIENT)
  for pid in $pids; do
  ...
  done
done


Here's a patch:

+        kill -KILL $pid
+      fi
     fi
-  fi
+  done
 done


Another thing: One second isn't very long.  What happens if this code
kill -KILL's the DHCP client before it has finished deconfiguring the
interface?  Perhaps start-stop-daemon should be used here with a
longer timeout.

for CLIENT in /sbin/dhclient3 /sbin/dhclient /sbin/pump ; do
  [ -x $CLIENT ] && start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec $CLIENT --retry=TERM/10/KILL/2 > /dev/null
done

This has the additional advantage of only killing genuine processes,
not processes whose executable files happen to have the same names.

Changes:

 .
   * Sylvain Ferriol
     - fix error message during plip config. (Closes: #253361)
   * Christian Perrier
     - Remove trailing exclamation mark from netcfg/dhcp_success_note
     - Run debconf-updatepo and unfuzzy templates for removed exclamation mark
   * Joshua Kwan
     - Corrected reference to the pppconfig package. (Closes: #253086)
     - killall.sh: add grep -v grep (Closes: #253099)
     - Allow netcfg/disable_dhcp option that governs what use_dhcp is
       set to every time we start, instead of hardcoding true. Defaults
       to true, so default behavior has not changed. (Closes: #248147)
     - Fix /etc/hosts writing after much deliberation. (Closes: #247734)
     - Use a static buffer for mii-diag call.
     - Sleep for 1.5 seconds before mii-diag, because slow network cards
       just take that long to answer. And for those that take more that's
       just too bad.
   * Bastian Blank
     - Readd postinst files for netcfg-dhcp and netcfg-static.
   * Updated translations:
     - Bosnian (bs.po) by Safir Å eÄ?eroviÄ?
     - German (de.po) by Alwin Meschede
     - Hebrew (he.po) by Lior Kaplan
