Where I see:
------- Additional Comment #7 From Alberto Ornaghi  2003-06-20 13:31

the line 

 ebegin "Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run"
      ( find /var/lock -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f -- 1>&2 )

can be changed to:

 ebegin "Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run"
      ( find /var/lock -type f -exec rm -f {} \; )


But more recently:
------- Additional Comment #16 From Toralf F�rster  2003-07-08 01:52

the command 
$>find /var/lock -type f -exec rm -f -- {} \; 1>&2  
 
will also delete files like ".keep", here is an example: 
 
$>find /var/lock -type f 
/var/lock/subsys/.keep 
/var/lock/.keep 
/var/lock/LCK..modem

And:
------- Additional Comment #17 From Tobias Sager 2003-07-08 02:01 EST 

find /tmp -type f -not -name .keep -exec rm -f {} \;

would solve this.

So, it would seem to me that:
the line:

 ebegin "Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run"
      ( find /var/lock -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f -- 1>&2 )

can be changed to:

 ebegin "Cleaning /var/lock, /var/run"
      ( find /var/lock -type f -not -name .keep -exec rm -f {} \; )

Does anyone else agree with my conclusion?

Thanks,
Dan W. aka gen2
