Hi folks,
I'm stumped here on something that used to work on our SGI IRIX box
running LDM 5.2 but is not working on its replacement box, a dual Xeon
box running FreeBSD 4.7. It's the printing of the UW-Madison difax maps
via a pqact entry piping the gziped postscript files to Pete Pokrandt's
'printmap.csh' script, which is just a gunzip of stdin piped to an lpr
or lp command.
Here's an example pqact.conf entry:
DIFAX ^one.avn4panel.*.ps.gz
PIPE -close /usr/local/ldm/util/printmap.csh
With the printmap.csh line being executed:
/usr/bin/gzip -dc | /usr/bin/lp -d difax
where 'difax' is the printer.
Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: pbuf_flush (8) write: Broken pipe
Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: pipe_dbufput:
-close/usr/local/ldm/util/printmap.csh write error
Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: pipe_prodput: trying again
Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: pbuf_flush (8) write: Broken pipe
Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: pipe_dbufput:
-close/usr/local/ldm/util/pr
intmap.csh write error

Apr 09 17:45:03 weather pqact[80722]: child 27708 exited with status 1
What really confuses me is that I can manually print the gzipped .ps map
(I'm also FILE'ing the product, so I have it on disk). eg:
cat one_avn4panel_12Z_850fcst.ps.gz | printmap.csh
or
/usr/bin/gzip -dc one_avn4panel_12Z_850fcst.ps.gz | /usr/bin/lp -d difax
generate a printout on that printer just fine.
Any suggestions?
