Am I missing >something or does cups simply not accept a complete command line in >mime.convs? I guess that would depend on whether it does an exec() call or a system() library call. And you only need to write one wrapper, and symlink the name of the real program to it. call this proxy-filter: #!/bin/sh exec nice $0.bin where, e.g., you've done 'mv pstops pstops.bin'. then, ln -s proxy-filter pstops and so on. -- AlanE KDE-FreeBSD Team To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
