One by one. It's a tedious procedure. :>D

Ok that was it. I had forgotten to do that. Thanks very much for the
memory jog.

I have a shell script that creates a html doc out of a text doc. I
would like to be able to call the program "mkhtml" via a printer
called html on the box. ie: lp -dhtml filename.
I have attempted to modify the printer interface file but can't seem
to get it to work.

I need to:

1) copy the file(to be printed) name into a file named dir
2) run mkhtml

any suggesions?

Thanks
Brandt

First suggestion.. Make 'mkhtml' take data from STDIN instead of requring a
file. Failing that, it should be this simple:

#!/bin/ksh

TMPFILE="/tmp/prn.$$"

/bin/cat - > $TMPFILE

mkhtml $TMPFILE

<cat the output of mkhtml to STDOUT>

rm $TMPFILE

....
