Description Michał Górny archtester

Initscript provided with xinetd uses bashisms, which makes it incompatible with shells more strict than bash as OpenRC calls initscripts using /bin/sh.

The basic problem here is the workaround for bug #25754 for which I have no other solution. The good thing is that it won't stop script from working, just workaround won't work.

Simpler to fix are '&>'s.

Patch to fix the issue

I see that workaround doesn't exist in portage… strange.

The issue is easy to fix then.

better to drop the redirect and use the -q option instead

killall doesnt play well with openrc, so ive switched to ssd.  also makes it behave better by only killing the proper xinetd.
