[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp-script and concurrency/parallel execution

there is nothing about this issue in the docs or
in the archive, so i will ask you.

i have seen a lot of running instances of dhcp-script
on an embedded box (OpenWrt, 2.73rc8).
this is a problem in 2 ways:

1)
memory consumption

2)
concurrency, because we read/write into files
with the same filename

at least there should be an explicit mention of that
behaviour in the docs. also we should consider to have
an option e.g. 'scriptwait' which wait till the script
is terminated before the next call is started...

what do you think about that?

bye, bastian
