In initscripts we don't use hardcoded path to pidof. At least on my system you don't even have to call ifdown, simple pidof is enough. This is probably caused by content of PATH variable where sometimes (after sudo) /sbin is before /usr/sbin.
Comment 2 Jaromír Cápík 2014-01-07 16:46:58 UTC 
Hi guys.

I wanted to remove the message as the wrapper script affects the %PPID resolution. Now there seems to be one more reason for the wrapper removal. I'm going to replace it with symlink.

Thanks for the report.

Regards,
Jaromir.
