Well, there were at least two bugs, or three, in my script. Next time
I'll just post the entire script.
First, I found the cause of JABORT. There was an uncommented fragment
of a line farther down the script, (I have vi set for automatic line
wrapping.) after my smbclient command. That was causing the JABORT.
Secondly, smbclient wasn't printing anything out. This was due
the lack of a complete path for the smbclient command. This command works:
enscript -Z -p - | /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //hammer2/text -N -c "print -"
1>junk 2>junk
If I had but the redirection commands in there at the start (2>junk, etc) I
would have discovered this mistake early on.
Thirdly, I was also using cat | enscript etc in my script. This doesn't seem
to work. enscript alone is all you need.
Thanks for the help. It was the smbprint script in LPRngTools that gave
me the idea of trying to redirect the output of smbclient, and it was
smbprint that made me realize I needed the full path of smbclient.
BTW, is there a misprint in smbprint in LPRngTools? This is the print
command in that script:
$smbclient "$share" -E ${hostip:+-I} $hostip -N ${workgroup:+-W}
"$workgroup" \
${authfile:+-A} "$authfile" "-c $command" >&2
^?
Shouldn't that last command be:
-c "$command" >&2
Thanks,
Joel
