When does lpr die?
The following patch cured the "lpd dies over weekend" symptom on my machine:
--- /etc/init.d/lpd.orig Mon Jun 1 13:24:41 1998
+++ /etc/init.d/lpd Mon Jun 1 13:25:07 1998
@@ -21,4 +21,5 @@
echo -n "Restarting printer spooler: lpd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/lpd.pid
--exec $DAEMON
+ sleep 2
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON
echo "."
The reason for the kill was the line
/etc/init.d/lpd restart
in /etc/cron.weekly/lpr
This is a workaround of course, but should be enough to reduce the bug
severity to not halting the hamm release any more.
