Nate, I was thinking something horrible like: l0:2345:respawn:/sbin/lpd in '/etc/inittab' or: * * * * * /usr/local/bin/check-for-lpd-and-restart-if-dead.sh in root's crontab. Oh, you wanted "good" suggestions. ;-) Good luck, Troy >>> natecars at real-time.com 08/17/01 03:45PM >>> We've got a client who's printing from a bunch of Windoze clients to a Samba server, which spools it off to LPR. Problem is, occasionally, the LPR daemon just dies; no logs, it's just dead. Any suggestions on what we can do to take care of this? I'm thinking of switching to LPRng. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ tclug-list mailing list tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
