About ten days ago, I asked if one could print, using "lp", a file
with permissions "700", as
lp -ddecwriter filename
The consensus is that NO, it cannot be done, but that
cat filename | lp -decwritter
lp -ddecwriter < filename
will both work!
One of the replies (Jeff hanson - tohanson@gonso.lerc.nasa.gov) was kind
enough to send the following C-Shell script he had got from (dave Carek,
eddc@opus.lerc.nasa.gov):
# !/bin/csh
set last = `echo $#argv`
set file = $argv[$last]
@ x = `echo $#argv` - 1
set options = `echo $argv | cut -d" " -f1-$x`
cat $file | lp $options
You may call that script "/usr/local/bin/tlp" and use that command instead
of "lp", or alias "lp" to "tlp"...
This seems to work fine for me...
Another reply, from Dan Karron (karron@nyu.edu), mentioned that (apparently)
there is a complete rewrite of lp in the next version of IRIX...
Thank you for all who replied,
