	With that, I get :

[tslg at Hbsk2 ~]$ sudo /sbin/service privoxy restart
Stopping privoxy:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting privoxy: Apr 08 18:55:24.929 Privoxy(b7fd56c0) Info: Privoxy

                                                           [  OK  ]
[tslg at Hbsk2 ~]$ 


	Looks likely right to me; is it?
