Hi,
today, I had trouble with the samba/cups combination even with the
"sleep 2" workaround (although I do not really understand why). Upon
closer inspection of the cupsys init-script I
was wondering if you need the pid-file at all. It seems that you are not
using the pid (e.g. when stopping cupsd), so wouldn't it be simplest
just not to create the pid-file and start cupsd without the --background
option? In that case it should not be necessary to add an artificial
delay (otherwise it would be a problem of cupsd itself). In my case,
this approach seems to be working.
BTW, while looking at the init-script, I was wondering whether maybe it
would be safer to add the '--user root' option to the stop part, to make
sure not to accidentally kill cupsd instances that do not belong to root.
Best wishes,
Martin.
