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
version 3.0.10
Apr 08 18:55:24.929 Privoxy(b7fd56c0) Info: Program name: /usr/sbin/
privoxy
[ OK ]
[tslg at Hbsk2 ~]$
Looks likely right to me; is it?
