Hello admins..
MY system: Tru64unix V5.1 PK4
I have a LA75 printer directly connected to a VT420 terminal. VT420 is
connected to a DEC server 300 ..
We are using oracle forms6.0 applicaitons in character mode..In one of these
applications user tries to print a list file to the printer directly
connected to VT420.. These printers do not have a printcap entry. Instead we
use a script to redirect list file content to both terminal screen and
attached printer. we use VT420 CSI control sequences.. Script is this;
||||||||||||||||||||||||||LocalPrint||||||||||||||||||||||||||
clear
cat /home/rbin/term_autoprinton
cat $1
cat /home/rbin/term_autoprintoff
CSI control characters are the followings;
/home/rbin/term_autoprinton : CSI5i
/home/rbin/term_autoprintoff : CSI4i
My problem is ;
When user tries to print from application (like HOST (localPrint
Myfile.lis) )
I see the cat output goes both terminal and printer BUT it hangs there. It
never executes term_autoprintOff script..
What can be tha cause..
When I execute the script from command prompt It executes well..
