NAME

dhcpcd-online —

a utility to work out if dhcpcd(8) is in the connected state

SYNOPSIS

dhcpcd-online [-q] [-t timeout] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

dhcpcd-online connects to dhcpcd(8) and waits for a maximum of timeout seconds until the status changes to connected. This tool is intended for use in the startup of the host system where dhcpcd(8) is started in parallel with other services who depend on a network connection being available.

-q: Suppresses the reporting of non error messages.
-t timeout: Sets the number of seconds dhcpcd-online waits for dhcpcd(8) to reach the connected state. If not specified, a default value of 30 is used.
-x: Exits immediately if dhcpcd(8) is not running.

NOTES

dhcpcd(8) needs to be running in Master mode for dhcpcd-online to work.
