Thank you. That certainly does kill the lease. :-)

I would like to learn more about command line dhcpmon but I cannot find
the dhcpmon command line syntax. How might a neophyte, such as I, learn
more about dhcpmon's command line parameters?

As usual with everything, I became lost trying to get more info:

-- Running dhcpmon with any of several different help-oriented
parameters such as -? -h -help /? /h /help gives no info (they all
appear to start a window which immediately terminates and you're back at
the command line).

-- \MPTN\ contains dhcpmon.hlp but "help dhcpmon.hlp" and "help
G:\MPTN\dhcpmon.hlp" both respond with the Help program window saying
"Text not found".

-- (Weird, one of the above caused the dhcpmon.hlp file to end up in the
Help history list so I could then choose and open it from there. Alas,
no info is given in dhcpmon.hlp on command line usage.)

-- I used epm to open dhcpmon.exe and I did find a number of message
strings but none state what the parameters are. (Some interesting
messages though.)

-- I remembered the S.L. saying "Google is your friend" and googled
on "dhcpmon parameters". Some good info at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=rzakg/rzakgconfiguringclients.htm
(the -t parameter). And there are two good dhcpmon -t examples at
http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0304H/vnewsf4.htm which I
have to study. The -t shuts down "something" but nobody is saying what
it shuts down and how you restart whatever that thing is.

So I'm stuck with no dhcpmon command line syntax. Where might I look?
