- There are some people experiencing problems with the scripts included
- in the SysVinit-2.50 package. This is coming from a certain problem
- with /bin/sh, that does not have the `kill' command as a builtin. It
- is rumoured that some versions of bash (1.13.5?) have this problem if
- invoked as `/bin/sh' rather than '/bin/bash'. To work around this, there
- are two solutions:
-
- 1. Use the included `killall' command instead of `kill'. (See the file
- "Readme" in SysVinit-2.50.tgz for hints!)
- 2. OR apply the following patch in your /etc/rc.d directory, this fixes
- the problem for bash:
-
- (As usual, cut this part and feed it to patch as "patch < cutted_part")
