Description josef radinger 2002-06-11 07:03:13 UTC 
hi,

in /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid there are several echo-lines starting with:
echo $"blabla..."

the lines are:
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
echo -n  $"Stopping $prog: "
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|reload|restart|condrestart}"

why would one use $ in front off the text?

yours josef

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2002-11-26 16:29:46 UTC 
I've downloaded the errata packages (squid-2.4.STABLE6-6.6.2) and checked it.
They are not there.

sorry for my lack off giving you full infos.
the "$" is back in rawhide and 8.0 at least.

you fixed it in 6.2, and i forgot to set the correct version while reporting.

The echo $"..." functionality is present in 8.0 (and actually many previous
releases.)
