Re: LPRng: user quota mess up..
hi. Patrick. i found the error. it's my stupid mistake. i accidentially put the update quota partinto thetheplace 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 sometimesi 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.

LPRng: user quota mess up..
Hi,
In the accounting process, i notice that one user quota being assigned to another user. i am using the accounting.pl that comes with LPRng with some change.
as acct shows, there are two jobs logs and they are mixed up together.
i.e the job from alexeev shows up before user 'smiles' finish his job.later user 'smiles' finish his job first.
i think that causes my problem. because inthe accounting.pl, i assume i am dealing with one user at a time and get their quota,printed pages then update the quota database. now when two jobs mixed up, i may end up updating one user quota for another ..
following is the acct log and the part i do accounting in the accounting.pl.
can you give me some suggestion as i am not sure how do i deal with this case..
