Hi Tom,
Thanks for your concern. No, you're right, it really oughtn't be there.
It's been quite a mystery to me for some time just what it's doing
there. /etc/init.d/xprint is sufficiently complicated that it's not
obvious why its happening.
Maybe one day a complete overhaul of the script will locate the source
of the problem and remove it. You're welcome to help :)

It's a long script and I can only take a guess right now.
But there is some mention of backgrounding scripts that looks like it
would be key.
I tried running this under 'script' and it was pretty apparent that
there are left over processes that are still running. And now I'm
getting out of my element, but is there some way that xprint or Xprt
should be detaching from the parent process?
