>Description:
The man page for dhcpd in /usr/local/man/cat8 includes the sentence:

 >To restart dhcpd,  send  a  SIGTERM  (signal  15)  to  the
 >process  ID  contained in /var/run/dhcpd.pid, and then re-invoke dhcpd.

however the default location for dhcpd.pid seems to be:

  /var/run/dhcpd/dhcpd.pid

(note the added dhcpd directory).

>How-To-Repeat:
man dhcpd

  and look for "run" then 

ls -l /var/run/dhcpd
>Fix:
Either change the documentation or the default location. Personally I think the location is the problem. What is the point of a directory with only one file? The directory doesn't hold the other dhcpd files (leases).
