I am running LPRng-3.6.19 on Solaris 8. I need to make sure that jobs are sent only once to the printer. If an error occurs, the job should go into the hold state. I know that I can accomplish this by setting send_try to 1 and send_failure_action to hold. Unfortuntately, I still have a problem if my machine crashes while jobs are printing. When lpd starts up again, it resends these jobs. I need these jobs to go into a hold state instead. I suppose that I can go through all of my spool directories and set the hold_time in all hf* files before starting lpd, but this seems a bit kludgey to me. I don't think I can use the ah configuration paramater, because I want jobs to print without having to release them (I only want to hold errors). I also considered using lpc immediately after starting lpd, but am concerned about losing the race condition. What are my options here? Any help will be appreciated. -- Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
