[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq won't quit if listening on 'empty' bridge?

The cron job is run by root?

I have to put a 10 second delay between the stop and start, something like
this:
  sleep 1
  killall dnsmasq       2>/dev/null
  echo -n " 9 "
  sleep 1
  killall dnsmasq       2>/dev/null
  echo -n "8 "
