[K12OSN] profile.d question

Mon Dec 6 11:35:53 UTC 2004

You guys might know this already, but you can log the output of your scripts by calling the script like this:  scriptname.here >> /home/user/scriptname.log 2>&1  This will give you a little more insight into what is going on.

I picked this up off of the following website about the cron command:  http://www.linuxhelp.net/guides/cron/

Subject: RE: [K12OSN] profile.d question

Henry,<br><br>I had set the script to be executable, logged out/in,  and it just doesn't seem to matter.  Starting  a bash shell and  checking SETPRINTERS shows that the variable isn't getting set.  All I can think of at this point is perhaps DISPLAY isn't being returned like the script wants?  In that case, perhaps the script is running, but not finding any matches?  I use LDAP for authentication (shouldn't make a difference, but ...) <br><br>I plan to go in to the school this weekend and will double check on it then.  <br><br>Thanks,<br>Dave ...<br><br><br>> Dave,<br>> <br>> I wrote the script you are using on the Wiki (Thanks Petre for getting that on <br>> there).  When run, the script should set an environmental variable called <br>> SETPRINTERS.  If you log into a client (with the script in /etc/profile.d/ at <br>> least), that variable should get set.  Just run "echo $SETPRINTER" and it should <br>> say that it is =true... If that isn't there, then for some reason you!
r profile.d <br>> scripts aren't running... hmm... did you make the script executable?  run "ls -l <br>> setprinter.sh" while in the /etc/profile.d/ directory and make sure you have the <br>> "x" bits set, otherwise the script will not run.  Run "chmod a+x setprinter.sh" <br>> in the profile.d directory again.  Try loging in again and see if the variable <br>> is set. =)<br>> <br>> Henry<br>> <br>> <br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From:	dahopkins at comcast.net [mailto:dahopkins at comcast.net]<br>> Sent:	Fri 12/3/2004 2:00 PM<br>> To:	K12LTSP<br>> Cc:	<br>> Subject:	[K12OSN] profile.d question<br>> It is Friday, so I get to try and troubleshoot printer problems again.<br>> <br>> Speciifically, I am trying to get the script on the wiki.for setting the default <br>> printer to work.
