Suggested enhancement to udev script

Suggested enhancement to udev script

[Paul Brewer]

Hi,

I'm running udev-161-8.fc14.x86_64 on Fedora 14.
The script /etc/init.d/udev-post contains the boilerplate text:
"Retrigger failed udev events".

Whilst this is doubtless technically accurate, some may become a trifle
alarmed to see the word "failed" in their logs when this is a perfectly
normal state and all is working exactly as designed.

Might I suggest that instead, at boot, something like:
 "Trigger outstanding udev events"
might be more appropriate?

If this is addressed to the wrong people, please accept my apologies.

Regards,
Paul

Sysv init scripts are handled by the individual distributions not
upstream. But they will go away anyway with systemd, for which udev
ships the service files upstream.
