Oh that's interesting. Never used that.
Hi Nik,
Do you use incron (incrontab) for this? You willing to share your script
(assuming it's in bash)?
Oh, that's just some lines in /etc/rc.local:
(
mkdir /tmp/xxx
inotifywait -m /tmp/xxx -e CLOSE_WRITE | while read a; do
b=$(echo "$a" | cut -d ' ' -f 3-)
lpr "$b" && rm "$b"
done
) &
now copy anything you want to print to /tmp/xxx ... hopefully you have set up filters for
all the strange files that are not ps, pdf ot txt ... and you could do some better sanity
checking :)
Oh, you need inotify-tools, too.
That's half of it Kate, the cups installed on the
clients needs to
have "browser" enabled. Once that's done you can keep the chainsaws
busy. Until you run out of ink or toner.
Oh my ... that's the reason why I set up a "drop stuff here" folder on
the Curiosity, best time waster ever invented!
That's why smartphones were invented. with smatphones nobody will ever feel curiosity
again!
Nik
Best,
Michael
