[Bug 1503680] Re: dhclient for eth0 does never exit and retries dhcp foerever
dhclient.conf has "timeout 300" set by default in ubuntu so
theoretically according to the manpge it should exit after 5min. this
looks like a bug in dhclient itself

Title:
dhclient for eth0 does never exit and retries dhcp foerever
Status in Snappy:
New
Status in isc-dhcp package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When booting snappy without eth0 connected, dhclient runs forever
trying to retrieve DHCP every 5 minutes.
dhclient is run with the -1 parameter which is supposed to try only
once and exit after trying.
-1 Try to get a lease once. On failure exit with code 2. In
DHCPv6 this sets the maximum duration of the initial exchange to
timeout (from dhclient.conf(5) with a default of sixty seconds).
Though dhclient keeps running / does not exit.
If dhclient is changed to exit after failure, it must be insured that
it will be restarted when the network interface gets a physical link.
