• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

&>/dev/null is a bashism, it doesn't work on dash or other posix-compliant shells.

sry, I switch to upstream and they changed it. I overlooked it.

reverted back to our init scripts. working with upstream to make it proper.

(sry, this release lacked QA as I was trying to get it in the tree asap for a security issue.)

1.5.9-r1 has our old init script. Shouldn't be any problems.
