[Splashy-devel] Bug#473112: splashy: breaks udev - log_daemon_msg does not play well with -e switch from udev script

[Alban Browaeys]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.8-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

udev use sh -e and fails in log_daemon_msg because pidof splashy fails .
The patch fix it (this only happens when splashy is started from
initramfs though the fix is rational in any case). 

Best regards
Alban
