Description Valdis Kletnieks 2008-04-02 05:58:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
/etc/init.d/kerneloops does a '. /etc/sysconfig/$prog' to source a sysconfig
file, but doesn't actually *do* anything with it.  This would be particularly
useful in conjunction with a fix for bug #440187, as then I could stick a line

OPTS="-f /my/path/here"

in /etc/sysconfig/kerneloops and everything would work nicely.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kerneloops-0.10-11.fc9.x86_64
