Howdy. I'm setting up LPRng-3.6.26, with ifhp-3.4.2. I'm trying to
get accounting working. I'm getting a confusing assortment of command
line options being sent to the "accounting=" script. The relevant
portions of the printcap file are included below.
ifhp comes with a sample script called "accounting.sh". I made a
similar perl program, and in testing, am printing out the list of
command line arguments with:
foreach ( @ARGV ) {
print FH "$_\n";
}
The option list is below. As you can see, various options repeat,
sometimes with different values, for example "-b1" and "-b339". Can
you tell me why there are duplicate options, and how I'm supposed to
go about parsing the list?
(Bytheway, the script gets called twice, once with "start" as the
first argument, the second time with "end" as the first argument.
The output below is from the second call. I'd really prefer to have
it called just once at the end. Any suggestions?)

Note: "csif" and "csof" are a wrapper for "ifhp" and "ofhp" that just
do some option processing based on printer type.
Thanks.
