If I run the commands
cupsd; killall -HUP cupsd
or better
killall cupsd; cupsd; killall -HUP cupsd; sleep 1; ps auxwww | grep cupsd
the scheduler receives the HUP when it is still initializing itself. In
this case the scheduler gets killed immediately.
This is not a segfault bug, as no core file is generated. The error_log
shows no error message. The last message is always one in the
initialization process, usually one of
D [<date>] cupsdLoadRemoteCache: Loading printer <hostname>
or a message of an earlier phase of the initialization.
When deleting the cache before I cannot reproduce it, as probably CUPS
starts up quicker then and arrives in a phase where it handles the HUP
signal correctly.
