Lewis,
I went through exactly the steps, in the sequence shown below.
#2 Killed it.
#3 Reran the script which restarted DHCPCD
And, as you can see, #4 Closed DHCPMon and Restarted it.
Just for the exercise, I reran the script again just now. The PID for
the DHCPCD changed from 109 as it was after the previous exercise and
it is now showing as 216.
If there's something else to look at [and you can tell me how], I'll be
happy to try.
I think I mentioned this originally, but if I just bring the system up
with a cable attached at boot-time, DHCPMon displays what it should.
The script changes what is displayed to that shown below.
