hi. Patrick.
i found the error. it's my stupid mistake.
i accidentially put the update quota part into the the place extracting state out of stack.to be specifi, i put it into the if(/^START/).
once i put it at the right place -- i.e the end of the accounting.pl file. everything is smooth.
oh, do you happen to know why sometimes i got negative counter.
something like this :
END 't=121' 'p=-358045' 's=358045' 'q=0' 'D=1071766321' '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' 'P=printer4' 'n=kadir' 'H=130.63.230.132' 'S=1071766200'
some of the logs can be looked at here. http://dev.econ.yorku.ca/printer/index.pl?printer=printer4
it's still in development. but i am happy to see what i got right now.
Qiang.

This is totally baffling me.
The START/filestart/fileend/END sequence is generated by a single process,
and it should exit and CLOSE the connection to the accounting file
BEFORE another process starts.
The only other possible cause might be if you are doing banner pages,
but in this case the user names would be the same.
Has anybody else seen this?
