Summary:                    RFE: Extend init script with a "restart" option
Description: 
To have dhcpd reload its configuration i currently do

    /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswdhcpd stop
    /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswdhcpd start

Could we get a 

    /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswdhcpd restart

instead? Possibly with configuration file syntax checking before the stop
so that the service is only stopped when the configuration file is sane.
Something like httpd -S (in case dhcpd offers it).

FAIL needs some quotes to prevent a syntax error.

diff cswdhcpd.org cswdhcpd
36,38c36,38
<     [ $FAIL = 1 ] && echo "Your configuration seems broken. Exiting."
<     [ $FAIL = 2 ] && echo "Your lease file seems broken. Exiting."
<     [ $FAIL ] && exit 1

restarting."
>     [ "$FAIL" = 2 ] && echo "Your lease file seems broken. Not
restarting."
>     [ "$FAIL" ] && exit 1

Also, I just noticed funny things with SMF on Solaris 10. Even if there is
a restart option, SMF only seems to trigger stop and start.

# svcadm restart cswdhcp
# /var/svc/log/network-cswdhcpd\:default.log
