I would be surprised if it didn't work for your keyboard as well, provided the proper keycodes were exchanged so that they map to the wanted keys on your own keyboard.

Re: [PLUG] incron issue
On the "Create": this convinces me that I should take up drinking coffee, so some stronger brain stimulant. Dumb. On the multiple entries, I think the issue is that my test script is very short and fast. I added a sleep 10 and I get only one entry--the first one. Apparently the print driver (or the program calling it) closes the file multiple times. I added $% to the incrontab file and %2 to the script (but w/o the sleep in my script) I got: test1 create test23 IN_CLOSE_WRITE test1 create test23.PLT IN_CLOSE_WRITE test1 create test23.PLT IN_CLOSE_WRITE test1 create test23.PLT IN_CLOSE_WRITE This behavior of the driver/application seems not the best, but there is nothing to be done about it. I assume that my printing script will take sufficient time it will not matter. I recorded the times associated with the four log entries. It was 347 msec overall, with the last step taking most of this time at about 300 msec. So my anticipation that the multiple writes/closing will not matter seems reasonable. Let's hope so. Thanks again for the suggestion. -Denis On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 2:02 PM, Tomas Kuchta wrote: > If I recall incron details correctly, you get multiple entries in your log > because you run your script multiple times at different events: > IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_NO_LOOP > > Your other question: You see "create" in your log because that is what your > echo command puts there in your script. > > -Tomas > > On Nov 17, 2017 11:47 AM, "Denis Heidtmann" > wrote: > > I have pursued Tomas' advice to use incron to automatically send files > written by the win2k print driver to the printer.

Re: [PLUG] DKIM authentication with alpine
On Fri, 17 Nov 2017, Paul Heinlein wrote: I think we're talking passed one another. D'accord. DKIM "authentication" won't involve alpine in any way. Mail might be rejected at the SMTP level by a DKIM-aware milter, e.g., Now that I've done more reading I understand that the MUA doesn't matter. OpenDKIM needs careful and thoughtful setup, then postfix's main.cf needs to be modified to use it. Similarly, filtering software like SpamAssassin has network checks for performing DKIM verification. You then tell SpamAssassin (or its ilk) how badly to score messages that don't pass verification. I'll learn about this after I get OpenDKIM running correctly and add the SPF records to my DNS server.

Re: [PLUG] incron issue
If I recall incron details correctly, you get multiple entries in your log because you run your script multiple times at different events: IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_NO_LOOP Your other question: You see "create" in your log because that is what your echo command puts there in your script. -Tomas On Nov 17, 2017 11:47 AM, "Denis Heidtmann" wrote: I have pursued Tomas' advice to use incron to automatically send files written by the win2k print driver to the printer.

[PLUG] incron issue
I have pursued Tomas' advice to use incron to automatically send files written by the win2k print driver to the printer. I have everything down to one issue.

I added IN_ONESHOT to the incrontab: /home/denis/win2kfiles/Print_files IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_ONESHOT,IN_NO_LOOP /home/denis/scripts/intest.sh $# I still got multiple entries in the log.
