CHKPRINTCAP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CHKPRINTCAP(8) NAME chkprintcap -- check validity of entries in the print spooler database SYNOPSIS chkprintcap [-d] [-f printcap] DESCRIPTION The chkprintcap utility scans a printcap(5) database (named by the printcap argument, or by default /etc/printcap), looking for entries which are invalid in one way or another. The following checks are cur- rently implemented: 1. `tc=' references were properly expanded 2. `tc=' references did not form a loop 3. No two printers share the same spool directory (`sd=' capabil- ity). The chkprintcap utility exits with a status equal to the number of errors encountered before processing stopped. (In some cases, processing can stop before the entire file is scanned.) If the -d flag is given, chkprintcap will attempt to create any missing spool directories, giving them `u=rwx,go=rx' (0755) mode, group `daemon', and the owner specified by the `du=' capability in the database (default 1, which corresponds to user `daemon'). SEE ALSO lpr(1), printcap(5), lpd(8) AUTHORS The chkprintcap utility was written by Garrett A. Wollman <wollman@lcs.mit.edu>. BUGS Not enough sanity-checking is done. At a minimum, the ownership and mode of the spool directories should also be checked. Other parameters whose value could cause lpd(8) to fail should be diagnosed. BSD November 30, 1997 BSD
