I'm using the default sh for redhat which is bash-1.14.7-22 ie /bin/sh is a link
to /bin/bash.
Yes "sh pclbanner > /tmp/out" works - however no options are given.
I dug into this today and have found the following :
- psbanner and pclbanner both have the same error at line 50 and 22
respectively :
vAlue=`expr "$1" : '-.\(.*\)`;
is missing a ' and should read :
vAlue=`expr "$1" : '-.\(.*\)'`;
without the ' bash: unexpected EOF while looking for `'' is
returned.
- all of the "test" expressions in pclbanner are missing spaces around
the oerators - the single test expression in psbanner is okay.
- for example line 27 of pclbanner is given as :
if test "X$vAlue"="X" ; then shift; vAlue=$1; fi;
This "always" evaluates to true because = is not interpreted as a
an operator. This should read :
if test "X$vAlue" = "X" ; then shift; vAlue=$1; fi;
- There are six instances in pclbanner like this.
- With the above changes pclbanner no correctly outputs the Title, Printer,
Host, User, Class, Jobid, Date, Queue, Printed at etc.
However even with the above corrections pclbanner registers the following error
in the status.deslz file while interpreting the PRINTCAP_ENTRY :
BANNER: /usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner: mx#0=1: command not found at
2000-07-06-11:31:34.713 ## identifier=root@sccode+159 number=159 process=30162
As recorded
in /tmp/before(debug file from pclbanner) the PRINTCAP_ENTRY is :
PRINTCAP_ENTRY=deslz
:bp=/usr/libexec/filters/pclbanner
:if=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:ifhp=model=hp8000,status@
:lp=deslz%9100
:mx#0
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/deslz
I followed the logic and yes :
vAr=`expr "$iI" : " *\:\([^=][^=]*\)=.*"`;
vAlue=`expr "$iI" : " *\:[^=][^=]*=\(.*\)"`;
if test "X$vAr" = "X" ; then
vAr=`expr "$iI" : " *:\(.*\)@"`;
vAlue=0;
fi
if test "X$vAr" = "X" ; then
vAr=`expr "$iI" : " *:\(.*\)"`;
vAlue=1;
fi
if test "X$vAr" != "X" ; then
eval $vAr='$vAlue';
#setvar $vAr "$vAlue"
fi
will give this result - I presume you should account for the "#" character
when parsing the line ?
A couple of questions :
- how did this ever work in your setup ?
- what shell are you using ?
- did you see the last question I had in my past posting on the use
of status@ ?
Thanks as always.

If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
