I was looking at the udev init.d script included with udev on a SuSE box and noticed that it got some errors.

Actual Results:
/etc/init.d/udev: line 8: /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions: No such file or directory /etc/init.d/udev: line 25: action: command not found

In spite of the errors, it still seemed to run correctly and create devices, but I think it could be easily corrected to run cleanly on any distro by simply:
1. removing line 8
2. changing the action call on line 25 to and echo

Thanks,
Paul Larson

But that would mess with the way Red Hat has their init scripts set up, right? Yeah I know the error is there for SuSE, and if anyone wants to send me a proper SuSE version of the script, I'd be glad to add it to the tree.
