Hi, > I have put stuff into a script: ...
Thanks for looking into this. I've tested it using the same script as you and it still hangs for me: host1: cat /tmp/getstuff #!/usr/bin/perl print STDERR "starting\n"; read STDIN, $magic, 80; print STDERR "done\n"; exit 0 [sybies]toby: ... host1: echo testing|lpr -Pdicehp1 And here's the status: subserver pid 23731 starting at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.514 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 accounting at start at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.514 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 opening device '|$- /usr/libexec/printing/hpdriver $h $n $P $-a' at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.514 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 waiting for subserver to exit at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.518 ## A=<NULL> number=0 process=23730 printing job 'toby@host1+794' at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.526 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 processing 'dfA794host1.inf.ed.ac.uk', size 218533, format 'f', IF filter 'getstuff' at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.526 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 IF filter 'getstuff' filter msg - 'starting' at 2002-04-25-10:16:28.540 ## A=toby@host1+794 number=794 process=23731 ....and that's it, it hangs there. Hmmmm, any ideas? Any debugging suggestions to get to the bottom of this?
