CUPS monitor?
I'm looking for a monitor to test our CUPS server for problems; disabled printers (printer state)... the usual statistics here. I can use the lpd.monitor like the following: ./lpd.monitor -h x.y.tld -p 631 which does tell me if the cups server is or is not running, however it doesn't tell me if one of the printers is offline or if it's not accepting jobs, which is important. Has anyone here came up with such a monitor that's clever enough to work with CUPS and would give a bit more detailed output? -- Don ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

Try using one of the http monitors with a URL that lists out the printer state, and look for a match (or non-match) for the strings you're looking for. If you're going to roll your own, I see that there's a Net::Cups module on CPAN. ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
