There is a problem in ifhp-3.5.8a6's capability to run an external program as
defined by
waitend=|<prog>
in the ifhp.conf config file/command line. In particular, for those using
appsocket printers, Do_waitend is never actually called (just a shutdown and
read on the socket).
The following short snippet takes care of this problem:
*** ifhp.c.orig Mon Apr 29 14:43:08 2002
--- ifhp.c Mon Apr 29 15:10:51 2002
***************
*** 1298,1303 ****
--- 1298,1307 ----
do{
len = Read_status_timeout( 0 );
} while( len == 0 );
+ if( safestrncmp(Waitend, "|", 1) == 0 ){
+ Do_waitend(Job_timeout, Waitend_interval,
+ Waitend_ctrl_t_interval, banner_page );
+ }
} else if( Status && wait_for_end ){
/* we wait for the end normally */
Do_waitend(Job_timeout, Waitend_interval,
Waitend_ctrl_t_interval, banner_page );
