Bug Description
With upstart logging enabled, the cups upstart job routinely spits the following error out to /var/log/
cupsd failed to create /var/run/
Indeed, cups seems to get around to creating the socket several seconds after the cups post-start script stops waiting for it.
$ ls -l --full-time /var/log/
-rw-r----- 1 root root 90 2012-02-15 22:23:01.937144478 -0800 /var/log/
$ ls -l --full-time /var/run/
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-02-15 22:23:13.261144768 -0800 /var/run/
$
So it doesn't look like a 3 second timeout is realistically long enough here.
