 =============

After taking a different approach, I found the answer ...

The dhclient-exit-hooks does indeed run when dhclient is invoked
during the boot cycle.   The issue is that syslogd does not seem to
be logging yet.

If I create a file inside of dhclient-exit-hooks, then that file is
present as a result of dhclient-exit-hooks running during the boot
cycle.


Sorry for the noise....
