I remember some epsiode of Star Trek where the minutes became hours or something so they could fool the bad guys....
It seems that lprng has that feature too, probably to fool the evil solaris printing system, or maybe HP :) Seriously though, Debian has a checkpc -r -A 1D, I'm not sure if it is checkpc doing the right thing and printing the wrong thing, or if it actually is checking for things that are 86400 minutes rather than 1440 minutes or 86400 seconds. ----- Forwarded message from Adam Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Package: lprng Version: 3.8.2-1 Severity: normal /etc/cron.daily/lprng contains the line /usr/sbin/checkpc -r -A 1D which I assume is intended to delete junk or job files older than 1 day. However, I got a message from cron today containing the following lines: lp: file 'cfA879tenacity', 1821 hours old, remove > 86400 mins old lp: file 'hfA879', 1785 hours old, remove > 86400 mins old lp: file 'dfA879tenacity', 1821 hours old, remove > 86400 mins old 86400 minutes = 1440 hours = 60 days I assume the confusion is because 86400 seconds is a day. I cannot be 100% certain that the files were actually that old, and didn't just have their age misreported, but I did break printing during a kernel upgrade about 2 months ago. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Kernel Version: Linux tenacity 2.4.13 #2 Sun Oct 28 20:48:40 GMT 2001 i686 unknown Versions of the packages lprng depends on: ii debconf 1.0.22 Debian configuration management system ii libc6 2.2.4-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
