I am trying to use dhcrealy on a CentOs 5 kernel which have kernel version 3.5.3.

I configured /etc/sysconfig/dhcrelay file like that 

dhcrelay -i eth1 192.168.0.1

While dhcrealy is stopped, I run /etc/init.d/dhcrelay status and I get this output.

Listening on LPF/eth1/08:00:27:49:5e:e7
Sending on   LPF/eth1/08:00:27:49:5e:e7
Sending on   Socket/fallback
dhcrelay (pid 27536) is running...

Then I check ps aux | grep dhcrelay and see that dhcrelay was started. Although It returns OK, I could not stop it by calling /etc/init.d/dhcrelay stop and whenever I check status It starts new proccess. Then I can only stop it by calling killall dhcrelay command

My installed dhcp package is dhcp-3.0.5-23.el5_6.4

I wonder is there anybody faced with same problem?

most likely this is simply a broken init.d-script, that does not honor the arguments (start, stop, status), but always starts the dhcprelay.

you might want to report that as a bug with the maintainers of the package.

I figure out the reason of this error. Conf file should not contain commands. I change it as like that and problem solved.
