[Bug 1274225] [NEW] dhcpd.pid file is different in /etc/init/ and /etc/init.d

[atimonin]

Public bug reported:

in /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf (near end of file)

exec dhcpd -user dhcpd -group dhcpd -f -q -4 -pf /run/dhcp-
server/dhcpd.pid -cf $CONFIG_FILE $INTERFACES

in /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server

# try to read pid file name from config file, with fallback to /var/run/dhcpd.pid
if [ -z "$DHCPD_PID" ]; then
        DHCPD_PID=$(sed -n -e 's/^[ \t]*pid-file-name[ \t]*"(.*)"[ \t]*;.*$/\1/p' < "$DHCPD_CONF" 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)
fi
DHCPD_PID="${DHCPD_PID:-/var/run/dhcpd.pid}"

The default dhcpd.pid file location differ (should be same).

So if you'll try to do:
/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart
you'll get TWO dhcpd servers!
