I just noticed a small change in behavior in LPRng (version 3.6.22) that
is impacting my log analysis. When you specify something like
as=jobstart $-P $-t $-h $-j $-b $-n
it no longer wraps the resultant information in single quotes (i.e. you
end up with a line like "jobstart printer date server id size user"
instead of "jobstart 'printer' 'date' 'server' 'id' 'size' 'user'"). If
you instead use
as=jobstart $P $t $h $j $b $n
it does wrap them in single quotes, but with the initial flag (i.e.
"jobstart '-Pprinter' '-tdate' '-hserver' '-jid' '-bsize' '-nuser'") as
advertised. Did I miss something in the CHANGES file, or is it a
fiddling little bug, which happens to be making my log analysis space
out when it hits names with spaces (i.e. Macs)?
I'm going to get a reputation as a whiner on this list, aren't I? ;-)
