Re: [foxboro] Moving old shell scripts to the new 8.3 Windows box.

You can map a printer to LPT1 and then copy the file to the printer from
within your script.

" net use LPT1: \\server\printername "
(space required between the colon : and the double backslash \\)

"C:\copy file.txt LPT1"

Subject: [foxboro] Moving old shell scripts to the new 8.3 Windows box.

We are moving from a 4.3/51B system to the 8.3/P91s.
 
We have a couple of scripts that run to generate and then print the
shift reports. This system has worked great for years....
 
Now when we move it over to the windows box they tell me we will lose
these (non Foxboro = no support) scripts.
 
I have set up the correct folders and files on the new box. I need to
set crontab (crontab is what trigger them on the old system) to trigger
them, and change the script to do a windows print function instead of
the lp -d function.
 
What am I missing, this seems too easy, and what is the windows print
function ???
 
Thank you for your support.
