Hi Volks ...

on my Harddisk install i have cups with pdf-printer installed. cups will be started from rcS.conf every boot. And on HD install it works well.

But ... if i make a image with tazusb to start slitaz frugal, all work well only cupsd will not be started from rcS.conf ..... i don't understand why?

when you boot frugal, does it work when you restart cupsd as root with

/etc/init.d/cupsd restart

when it does not work, then there is an error in the configuration

when it works the easiest way without investigating more time:

edit /etc/local.sh

and add

sleep 10
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart

Hi kultex.

thanks for the hints.

cupsd dont know a restart command

root@AOD255:~# /etc/init.d/cupsd restart
Usage: /etc/init.d/cupsd [start|stop]

ps gives back:

root@AOD255:~# ps | grep cupsd
 2096 root       0:00 grep cupsd

There is no cupsd daemon running!
If i try to start cups through init.d:

root@AOD255:~# /etc/init.d/cupsd start
Not starting cups deamon: cups deamon is already running             [ OK ]

ps give back again:

root@AOD255:~# ps | grep cupsd
 2096 root       0:00 grep cupsd

No cupsd running!
Now i start cupsd directly:

root@AOD255:~# cupsd

root@AOD255:~# ps | grep cupsd
 2102 root       0:00 cupsd -C /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
 2104 root       0:00 grep cupsd
root@AOD255:~#

Is there a bug in the daemon script?

I couldn't find local.sh in /etc or anywhere. How can i start cupsd from rcS.conf with sleep 10 ??

sorry

try

/etc/init.d/cupsd stop
/etc/init.d/cupsd start

and the local.sh is in /etc/init.d/local.sh

sorry - I have no cups installed on my machine

/etc/init.d/cups restart

because this is the correct command from cups config

and it helps a lot to set the log level in the cupsd.conf to debug

Hi kultex.

the cupsd binary dont support "restart" also the cupsd daemon start script in /etc/init.d, but this isn't really important

ok ... here are the results. I removed cupsd from the rcS.conf and added the start command
```
sleep 10
cupsd -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
```
to the local.sh.
Made a new image, boot it frugal and now cups works!

It seems, it was a runtime error while boot the frugal image ....

THANKS A LOT, for solving the Prob!! :)

Ok .... i got the solution!
It's not a runtime error. If cupsd start, it create not a pidfile, only a empty file :/var/run/cups/cups.sock
If this file exist, cupsd-daemon minds cupsd is already running. If you create a image with running cupsd this file will be integrated in the image and so cupsd didn' start cause this file exist already.

Stop cupsd "/etc/init.d/cupsd stop" before you create the image and all works well.

:)
