I would love to have that command in Debian. We have problems all the time with sysadmins leaking environment variables into the environment of long-running daemons. It's particularly bad when that daemon is xinetd. We can work around it with an alias, of course, but having the service command to scrub the environment properly is easier and more consistent. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
