Description Juergen Mell 2005-09-17 19:49:13 UTC

The hplib script in /etc/init.d displays lots of garbage at system shutdown if
the root user has a program in his .profile or .bashrc which produces some
output (eg. fortune).
The problem is in line 43 of the script: pid=`su - root -c "pidof -s $1"` should
be replaced with pid=`pidof -s $1` as nobody but root will normally run this
script on a SUSE system.

Comment 1 Johannes Meixner 2005-09-23 12:46:17 UTC

Fixed in next version (hplip-0.9.5) as described above.
