renew dhcp

Could someone refresh me(havn't used linux in a bit) with the command to release/renew a dhcp address for a nic card w/o restarting the box?

thought it was something like /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart but it doesn't seem to work. May have been a distro specif comman. [:S]

I believe the startup script for the dhcp client in ASL4 is /etc/rc.d/dhcp_eth. By looking at the script it doesn't look like it accepts a "restart" option only "start" and "stop".
I think the syntax for eth0 would be:

/etc/rc.d/dhcp_eth 0 stop
/etc/rc.d/dhcp_eth 0 start

I don't use the dhcp client so I haven't tried it yet.
