Subject: [32751] net/dhcp startupitem

[markd at macports.org]

Hi Blair,

Executable startupitems are the preferred type.  Daemondo can track pids
automatically and reliably restart an application if it quits.  See the
guide on this:

http://guide.macports.org/#reference.startupitems

Given how startupitem executables work, I don't see an advantage to
reverting to a "script" startupitem.  Or is there something I am missing
particular to dhcp?
