# Purpose: sendmail program # default sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t (STRING) # Purpose: allow mail to user using the sendmail program # default sendmail_to_user (FLAG on) # Purpose: mail to this operator on error # default mail_operator_on_error= (EMPTY STRING) This controls the handling of email. If users WANT a popup, then they use: lpr -m mailaddress ... (I forget the AIX options). You can replace the sendmail program with a script that will extract the information and send it. The best way to test this is to use the following setup: lp: :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P :sendail=/var/test/sendmail_script :mail_operator_on_error=yes :filter=/var/test/filter #!/bin/sh # filter # Produce a nice error cat >/dev/null exit 1 #!/bin/sh # sendmail_script ( echo "START" echo $@ set date cat ) >>/tmp/testout Now you can see what is being passed and sent and work out how to use this information. WARNING: the biggest problem is trying to track down which user is on which machine.
