Script to restart cups

[rdagel]

I have some policies to uninstall and reinstall some print drivers. I want
to make sure cups gets restarted. I made this script but want to make sure
that this is the best way to restart cups.

#!/bin/sh

sudo killall cupsd
sudo /usr/sbin/cupsd

If you're running this from a policy, I don't think you need sudo, as it will run as root anyway.
