Hope someone can help me with the following issue.
I have a small laptop connected to a hp color laserjet 2840 inorder to make
scanning "easy" for users.
the system is :
Linux scan 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Jul 27 18:10:34 EDT 2007 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
I cannot run hp-check because the program seems to be missing.
Im running this script inorder to capture the scans
#!/bin/bash
i="1"
while [ $i -eq 1 ]
do
paper_in=$(hp-info | grep Venter )
if [ "$paper_in" != '' ] ;then
scanimage -b --batch-scan=yes --resolution=100 > scan.pnm
DATE=`date -u | sed 's/[[:blank:]]/_/g' | sed 's/:/_/g' `
files=$(ls /home/scan/ | grep out)
convert ${files} tmp.pdf
mv /home/scan/tmp.pdf /home/scan/scanshare/${DATE}scan.pdf
rm -f /home/scan/*.pnm
fi
done
Wen the script has run a day or more the laptop ends up using alot of
swapspace.
Futhermore a great deal of log information in /var/log/messages is
produced
and almost fills up the harddrive. The latter has been resolved by
simply turning
off logging in /var/log/messages, but the first prblem remains as seen
in this top output:
