OK,
The problem is that the Debian lprng package runs checkpc -r -A 1D every day.
Fine for the first day, second day you get:
Warning - ** cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp/control.djet500' - 'No such file or
directory'
Warning - ** cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp/status' - 'No such file or directory'
Warning - cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp/status' - 'No such file or directory'
Warning - ** cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp2/control.epson600' - 'No such file or
directory'
Warning - ** cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp2/status' - 'No such file or directory'
Warning - cannot open '/var/spool/lpd/lp2/status' - 'No such file or directory'
So.. Should I care these files have been blown away? Should I be
running a different set of flags each day for general housekeeping?
And a big thankyou to whoever amc is for tracking down that is going on
here.
stop/starting lpd returns these files. This is for lprng 3.6.18

X-Sorted: Debian
Package: lprng
Version: 3.6.18-1
Severity: normal
/etc/cron.daily/lprng calls checkpc to check for permission errors, then
calls checkpc -r -A 1D to remove old files. But then next day the first
checkpc complains that some of the files are missing (because they were
removed the previous day).
