as you all can see, the rest of six print jobs didn't end with 'END'. that causes the
accounting.pl parse the log file incorrectly and mess the quota with other users.
that's why i
something see straight 3 or 6 END records in the acct.
this happens when the printer doesn't function properly so user print job failed.
is it expected that this kind record be found in acct? how do we deal with it from
accounting.pl ?
reading the code from the original accounting.pl,
at line 152 my($read_all) = 0;
at Line 199 if( $read_all ){ # second appearence.
if( $state != $FOUND_end ){
if( $read_all ){ # Line 199
print STDERR "$0: did not find end record in file";
exit 0;
}
The above code seems to aim for the situation i am having. but the question is that
it seems to me does nothing since $read_all didn't get changed and is always 0.
but even so, it will quit the program. that way, it can never proceed print job with
this kind of
incomplete record in acct.
Seems i am the only one having the accounting mess problem. Am i missing something
here ?
Help and pointers are greatly appreciated.
Qiang.
