[STR New]

I have three Computer with ubuntu 6.06 installed, an AMD Athlon(tm) XP
2800+ desktop, an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ and a laptop with a
Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M 2GHz. On amd64 there are no problems in
restarting cupsys or starting and stopping it, on the i386 systems, when I
try to restart cupsys with sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart it hangs, and I
have to give a Ctrl-C to terminate. After the termination cups works fine.
The only way to restart cleanly is to switch to single user mode and give
the /etc/init.d/cupsys restart command (Note: sudo -i followed by a
restart don't work, single user mode seems mandatory).
I have noticed that on the amd64 (the PC with working cupsys restart) a
pgrep cuspd returns 2 PID and that /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid reports the
highest, e.g.
# pgrep cuspd
4029
8366
# cat /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid
8366
on the other two systems there is only one cupsd instance running whose
PID is correctly reported in /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid .
