What OS and Version?
By the way, here is the code in LPRng/src/common/lpd_control.c:
case OP_REREAD:
if( permission == P_REJECT ){ goto noperm; }
DEBUGF(DCTRL1)( "Job_control: sending pid %d SIGHUP", Server_pid );
SNPRINTF( error, sizeof(error), "lpd server pid %d on %s, sending SI
GHUP\n",
Server_pid, FQDNHost_FQDN );
(void)kill(Server_pid,SIGHUP); <----- there is the kill
if( Write_fd_str( *sock, error ) < 0 ) cleanup(0);
goto done;
OK, why should the command line and LPC REREAD have different effects?
