Subject: 8bit chars, no refresh
From: Axel Rose (rose@sj.com)

Hello,
I posted two support requests on sourceforge but got no responses
until now.
May I repeat them here on the mailing list:
-1-
no Finder refresh after Unix move
after moving a file by a Unix script to a shared volume it will not
become visible if the volume is already opened in the Finder.
If otoh I close cmd-w the volume and reopen the moved file is
visible immediately.
scenario:
pap print
lpd is configured with :if=<script>:
<script> moves stdin to a temporary location
PostScript file is distilled with GhostScript "ps2pdf"
script moves ready-made PDF to shared location
now Macs have to wait ages or reopen the volume
I tried a "touch" on the created files but without success.
My sample lpd if follows:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
my $out = "/tmp/psout$$.ps";
open( O, ">$out" ) || die "can't create '$out'\n$!\n";
print O while(<STDIN>);
close O;
my $tmp = "/tmp/pdf/psout.$$.pdf";
my $pdf = "/share/pdf/psout$$.pdf";
system( "/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf13 -dPDFSettings=/prepress $out $tmp" );
rename( $tmp, $pdf );
system( "chmod 777 $pdf" );
exit 0;
Is there a configuration parameter somwhere?
Is there a workaround to notify Macs of changes in the server Desktop?
(I'm used to Helios EtherShare where I apply a special move command
or a Desktop rebuild)
my system: netatalk-1.5pre6, RH 7.0
-2-
can't delete files if 8bit chars
I can reproduce the following error on two different
RedHat 7.0 systems running a fresh install of 1.5-pre6:
Files with a filename containing 8bit chars can't be
deleted from the Mac side.
To reproduce:
$ perl -e '$file="\212"; open(F,">/share/pdf/$file") or
die; close F;'
where /share/pdf is my shared volume
You will see a file "ä" on the server which can't be
deleted from the Mac. The Finder will complain and not
offer a workaround.
---I would be very grateful for help regarding those issues.
Best regards
Axel Rose
