run-proclaim(1M)					      run-proclaim(1M)

NAME
     run-proclaim - proclaim initialization, shutdown, and status script

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/init.d/run-proclaim [ start | stop | surrender | verify | status ]

DESCRIPTION
     The run-proclaim shell script is called during system startup from
     /etc/rc2 to obtain (or verify) an IP address and host configuration
     parameters.  The script is called during system shutdown from /etc/rc0 to
     gracefully kill the proclaim(1) client.

     The arguments to run-proclaim are:

     start	Do the following, using the configuration flags described
		below:

		o  Kill any existing proclaim clients.

		o  Run the proclaim client with the -i option to verify an
		   existing lease if one exists and obtain a new address lease
		   if one does not exist. This option also invokes the
		   proclaim client for any non-primary interfaces on the
		   system depending on options specified in the
		   /etc/config/proclaim.options file.

		o  Run the /usr/etc/dhcpcopt script to act on options received
		   by the client. For example, if a router address was
		   returned it is used to setup a static route.

     stop	Gracefully terminate the client.

     surrender	Signal a running proclaim client to terminate the lease.

     verify	Signal a running proclaim client to verify the existing
		address and extend or obtain a lease.

     status	Display the current status of the address lease as it was
		recorded in the /var/adm/proclaim.lease_info file when the
		lease was obtained.

CONFIGURATION FLAGS
     A daemon or subsystem is enabled if its configuration flag in the
     /etc/config directory is in the on state.	If a flag file is missing, the
     flag is considered off.  Use the chkconfig(1M) command to turn a flag on
     or off.  For example,

	  chkconfig timed on

     enables the timed flag.  When invoked without arguments, chkconfig prints
     the state of all known flags.

     There are two flags, verbose and autoconfig_ipaddress that control the
     behavior of the run-proclaim script.  The verbose flag controls the
     printing of messages from the script.  The autoconfig_ipaddress flag
     controls the use of the proclaim client for auto configuration of the
     host.  If auto configuration and address leases are not in use then this
     flag should be turned off.

     Site-dependent options for proclaim belong in the
     /etc/config/proclaim.options file.

     See /etc/init.d/run-proclaim for the general format of the script.
