On my VM system, I have a LPD server setup to field LPR requests from other systems. That is, when another platform wants something done, it does a LPR to the VM system. The CMS server has a REXX program running with a WAKEUP on reader. The file comes in, wakes up the CMS process, which reads the reader queue and does what was requested.
I think many VM shops do this type of process. Anyway, I'm trying to do the same thing in zLinux (SUSE 10). I was going to setup CUPS to field LPR requests from other platforms. But then I started thinking how I was going to get a Regina script fired off, each time a file was received. Is there a way to do this? I was trying to keep away from FTP (as the server would have to wake up and scan for files) or REXEC as I need to pass a few cards of information (wouldn't fit on a single command line). I would also like to make this look like the process that we currently use for VM (of course, that may be a very unique process). Has anyone tried this on a Linux system? Or do I need to reconsider my options?
