I believe that gprintf and printf can be interchanged ... See this
Just checked another install and it has the same issue.
Obviously there is something wrong in the 8.2 distro,
[todd@fiji ~/RPM/SPECS]$ grep gprintf /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
gprintf() {
If your scripts are sourcing the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file, then
it will work.

Re: [expert] gprintf command not found
Jim, I believe that gprintf and printf can be interchanged ... See this thread here http://www.sgmltools.org/todo/85.txt from somebody with the opposite problem. Could it be a matter of ln -s printf gprintf ?

Re: [expert] gprintf command not found
I did exactly that - ln -s printf gprintf and life is better. Just checked another install and it has the same issue.

Jim Tarvid I too have found the gprintf command in various new scripts that I have installed. It will not work on Mandrake or Red Hat. I usually just change the script to read printf in the place of gprintf. I have searched rpmfind for such a binary but to no avail. If someone knows of the package that installs gprintf, I would sure love to hear about it. drjung -- J.

Re: [expert] gprintf command not found
It used to be in the gnu sh-utils (I think). My memory is shot.

Re: [expert] gprintf command not found
In reading the thread on the link I posted earlier I got the feeling however wrong it may be. That gprintf is found on Sun boxes using gnu tools... James On Tue, 09 Jul 2002 13:22:51 -0500 J.
