Hi, I upgraded my ubuntu distribution to 14.03 and isc-dhcp-server was upgraded to the latest version " 4.2.4-7ubuntu". I wanted to stop the service temporarily with the init script like below.
root@###### /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server stop * Stopping ISC DHCP server dhcpd It showed a status that it was stopped successfully, but the process was not killed and the service was still providing ips to the hosts in the network. netstat -tulpn | grep dhcp udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:39801 0.0.0.0:* 20963/dhcpd udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 0.0.0.0:* 20963/dhcpd udp6 0 0 :::3953 :::* 20963/dhcpd Later I realized that the service stopped correctly with the below command service isc-dhcp-server stop Guess it has something to do with upstart, but does that mean that the init script will not work anymore in the upcoming versions? ** Changed in: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/isc-dhcp/+question/285610 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to isc-dhcp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545674 Title: Unable to disable isc-dhcp-server Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I recently upgraded isc-dhcp-server to version 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.4 in ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS .
