Hello,

On my Debian system hald fails to start randomly. Logs do not show any
errors.

When I restart it and it does start, the output looks like this:

r...@laptop:~# /etc/init.d/hal restart
Restarting Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
r...@laptop:~#

When I restart it and it does NOT start, the output looks like this:

r...@laptop:~# /etc/init.d/hal restart
Restarting Hardware abstraction layer: haldr...@laptop:~#

As you can see in the latter case some expected output (".\n") is missing.
Also, the return code is 1 instead of 0 which clearly indicates a failure.

I tried the same quite a few times and it's completely random. What could be
the problem?

Rytis
