Version: 4.1.12-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I noticed in my ps output that logger is started without pathname. Shouldn't an 
absolute path be used to avoid an unnecessary dependency on the user's PATH?

Thinking again about this, it would probably be a bad idea as this PATH
does exists for a reason and /usr/bin can safely be expected to be part
of it. Actually the Debian Policy explicitly recommends not to prepend a
path in maintainer and init scripts (=A76.1) and the next one would open
this bug for exactly that reason ;-)

So I close this report without modification.

bye,

-christian-
