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
