Hi :) 
Do we know if this problem has been solved yet?  Has the OP been in contact? 
Regards from 
Tom :)  

This problem hasn't been solved, but I did find a work-around.  The problem I 
was trying to address with spadmin was to change the default printing language 
from pdf to postscript.  I didn't think reading the man page was going to 
solve my problem, so I didn't persue that possibility.  Instead, I have just 
created templates with the postcript as the default.  That seems to work.
It would be nice to know why spadmin doesn't run, however.

Hi :) 
Sorry for the late response! 

An 'obvious' way to get a little bit more information about any unix-based 
command is to add the tag "-h" or "--help" after the command.  In this case 
it would be something like: 

spadmin -h 

or 

spadmin --help 

It's just a quick-help, "cheat sheet".  There is a lot more info in the 
manual which you can access using the "man" command (seems a little sexist 
but it's really just short for manual).  So, try 

man spadmin 

my understanding is that the OP (you have deleted the original post) wasn't 
getting it to run at all. 

he had a funny sign in front of the command which I thought might be an 
artifact produced by his email. he should be sure to invoke the command as 

./spadmin 

assuming he is in the same directory or give the whole path (without the 
leading dot). 

Hmmm, i don't have spadmin installed on my machine so i got nothing from 
either of those commands. 

I have it but it seems to belong to openoffice in my case (on this machine) and 
seems to require 'sudo' to invoke it as it's owned by root.

Tom :) 

regards to you too!
