Looks normal to me. Do you have the latest cups appropriate for your FC4? (yum update cups). >.. > I suppose that "\|" in your suggested command translates to OR . I use > bash on fc4.

No, you were "supposed to" type both of the characters '\' and '|', but it doesn't make any difference because you improvised correctly to run two commands (one with cups, one with lpd), and confirmed that cupds _is_ running and there is not any lpd running. Interesting(?) aside.. My format, grep cups\|lpd was intended to check for either match in one call, but my advice was wrong anyway -- I should have used egrep, because grep doesn't do alternatives (egrep does). I should have said egrep cups\|lpd or equivalently egrep 'cups|lpd' The significant point here is that '|' normally has special meaning to the shell, and either the '\' escaping or the '...' quoting prevents the shell from interpreting special characters. ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
