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.
