Would it be acceptable for cupsd to write a pid file so that init
scripts can stop it easily?
ATM I'm using doing it manually by keeping the process in the foreground
using -F. Specifically "start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec
/usr/sbin/cupsd --pidfile /var/run/cupsd.pid --make-pidfile --background
-- -F"
As adding pid file writing capabilities doesn't seem that difficult (I
guess just below "if (parent_signal == SIGUSR1)" in scheduler/main.c) I
wondered if this had been omitted on purpose?
Thanks
