+Subject: [PATCH] bridge-stp.in: support different versions of pidof (#137)
+
+* bridge-stp.in: support different versions of pidof
+
+Busybox uses a version of pdiof that doesn't support the -c option. As
+such, this renders mstpd non-functional on any Busybox system.
+
+Just use the standard form of pidof to detect any running instances of mstpd.
