Re: [LINUX5250] lp5250d crashing on the first job

This is incorrect.  Do NOT put the outputcommand in quotes, it will only
cause it to fail.

When you use quotes in the outputcommand in tn5250rc, it will make it all
appear to the system as if it were one name.   I.e. it would be equivalent
to specifying this at the shell:   scs2ascii\ \|\ lpr\ -P\ lp0

Now it tries to find a program name containing spaces and the pipe symbol
as part of the name...

Your cat example also would not work.  The quotes would cause the same
problem.
