#!/bin/sh

IFNAME=$1
CMD=$2

if [ "$CMD" = "CONNECTED" ]; then
    dhclient $IFNAME
fi


If you want to extend that to kill dhclient, there is a more complete
example in wpa_supplicant/examples/p2p-action.sh for the P2P events that
has code for using dhclient pid file to kill it when the P2P group is
removed. It won't work as-is for the non-P2P case, but it should be
simple to extract the needed additions from there if desired.
