dhcpcd-discuss

This is the script that comes with Debian:

https://salsa.debian.org/smlx-guest/dhcpcd5/blob/debian/sid/debian/hooks/64-timesyncd.conf

At least to me it looks like it has no means to avoid pointless
restarts. So I guess I'll keep my config as is (with nohook set).

Thank you and also thank you for creating and publishing dhcpcd. Out
of all the applications I tried around DHCP it's the most straight
forward one, yet still having all the options one could ask for. Good
work! :)
